If you are a fan of first-person shooter games, you must have come across Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Among the several melee weapons available to players in the game, the CS:GO Karambit Doppler is the melee weapon of choice for most. And, like with other weapons, players may customize their knives with a variety of skins. The skins are divided into four phases, which we will go through in this tutorial.
A Brief History
The Karambit Doppler knife is one of the few knives that come with a Doppler finish. The finish comes in four different phases. The first, second, third, and fourth phases were all released on 8 January 2015. The finish for phases 1, 3, and 4 came with a gamma exposure update, and phase 2 was released with a full spectrum update.
Now let's get into the various phases of the Karambit Doppler and decide which one is the most stylish.
Phase 1:
The knives in this phase are the cheapest. They are also good for covert missions due to their dull finish. The blade is coated with a metallic finish that adds smoky, translucent lines. The knife comes in dark blue variants and various shades of green, while the knife handle is left unpainted. The knife is available in gamma cases. The price ranges from $1,050 to $1,158.
Phase 2:
This Doppler, like the phase 1 Doppler, has a metallic finish with lovely transparent patterns. It is available in a variety of purple and pink hues. It produces a spectacular display of colors when it catches the light just so. Chroma cases may be used to obtain the phase 2 Doppler skin. The prices range from $1,275 to $1,163.
Phase 3:
This Karambit knife has the same metallic sheen and transparent wavy lines as previous knives and comes in a variety of colors (green, teal or black). This knife is available in various cases and costs between $1,135 to $1,239. It is particularly popular because of its beautiful hues, which fit nicely with a camo costume.
Phase 4:
This knife, which has the same colors as the phase 3 Doppler, is an excellent addition to your collection. The cost might range between $1,270 and $3,118. They are expensive, but they are worth it since they are the closest thing to the rare ruby or sapphire knives with a Doppler finish.
Doppler Knives Are a Worthy Investment
The Karambit Doppler knives are expensive, but they are well worth the investment to add to your collection. They might be collectibles or simply a way to improve your appearance. And if you're concerned about the cost, you can always go for a cheaper knife with a Doppler finish. However, they may not be as fashionable and may be less effective in combat.
