Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler

★ Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler is a CS2 knife skin with a marbled metallic finish on paired push daggers. The pictured look combines bright green blades, mint highlights, and smooth cyan handles. It suits players who prefer colorful knives with a contrast between swirling patterns and solid surfaces. Buyers can choose from Emerald and numbered phases, with Factory New, Minimal Wear, and StatTrak™ options available.

Description

★ Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler applies the Gamma Doppler finish to the paired Shadow Daggers knives in CS2. Their push-dagger shape places the decorated blades alongside compact handles with prominent cutouts. The pictured green-and-cyan palette gives the weapon a colorful appearance without covering every surface in the same pattern. Pale metallic borders outline the blades, adding a distinct edge to the marbled centers. The contrast between patterned blades and mostly solid handles suits players who appreciate both detail and clean color blocks. Emerald, Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4 are available, so buyers should inspect the specific phase rather than relying on the finish name alone. Factory New and Minimal Wear offer the available exterior choices within its restricted float range. When comparing listings, phase, exact float, exterior, and StatTrak status help identify the copy that matches a preferred look and version.

History and Origin

★ Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler was released on September 21, 2021, as part of the Operation Riptide update. The Operation Riptide Case was its original case source, linking the finish's introduction to that release. Valve created the skin rather than a community designer. Current acquisition routes include openings of both the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, changing the supply route for the original case. As of October 9, 2026, the Operation Riptide Case no longer dropped, so new cases were not entering through that route. Existing Operation Riptide Cases can still be purchased on the market and opened, keeping the historic acquisition method available. The Dreams & Nightmares Case remained in the Weekly Care Package drop pool, providing an ongoing source of cases that can contain this finish.

Finish Style

Gamma Doppler uses the Anodized Multicolored finish style, giving the daggers a colored metallic surface. The underlying treatment combines black and silver metallic paint through a marbling process before receiving a candy-like coating. In the pictured variant, bright green covers much of the blades, with pale mint highlights breaking up the color. Darker green veins wind through those areas, creating a flowing pattern rather than a uniform fill. Broad cyan sections extend from the handles toward the centers of the blades. Thin, pale metallic borders trace the outer blade edges and separate them visually from the colored interiors. The cyan handles contain large dark cutouts and a small dark emblem near each blade junction. Together, these details balance busy blade marbling with relatively uninterrupted handle color, while the specific listing should guide any phase selection.

Float Value

The float value of ★ Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler ranges from 0.00 to 0.08. Its available exteriors are Factory New and Minimal Wear, with no Field-Tested, Well-Worn, or Battle-Scarred copies. StatTrak versions are available in the supported exteriors, and that version choice is separate from a copy's cosmetic condition and exact float.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler has the Covert rarity grade. Its drop chance from the Operation Riptide Case is 0.0085%, which should not be assumed to describe the Dreams & Nightmares Case. Professional players Zeus, DANK1NG, and electronic have owned the skin.

Why it’s Popular:

• Bright green marbling contrasted with smooth cyan handles

• Emerald and numbered phases offer distinct selection options

• Compact push-dagger shape displays both blades together

• StatTrak availability for players who want a kill counter

Price Range

The live ★ Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler price range is $79.72 to $461.37. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a particular phase, exterior, or version. Compare Emerald and the numbered phases separately when evaluating individual listings. Factory New, Minimal Wear, exact float, and StatTrak status all matter when matching comparable copies. For a useful CS2 skin price comparison, inspect those details before deciding whether to buy, sell, or trade, rather than treating every Gamma Doppler listing as equivalent.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Weapon Case

Open an Operation Riptide Case or a Dreams & Nightmares Case for a chance at this skin. Operation Riptide Cases no longer drop but remain available to buy and open, while Dreams & Nightmares Cases enter through the weekly drop pool. The Operation Riptide Case chance is 0.0085%, so opening a case does not secure this specific knife.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy an existing ★ Shadow Daggers | Gamma Doppler listing on the Steam Community Market instead of relying on a case opening. Check the phase, exterior, exact float, and StatTrak status before selecting a copy, since the finish name alone does not describe every available option.

4. Trade with Other Players

Obtain the skin through a player-to-player trade by agreeing on an exchange for an existing copy. Inspect the offered daggers and confirm their phase, float, exterior, and StatTrak status before accepting, especially when comparing them with another listing.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Dreams & Nightmares Cases continue entering through the weekly drop pool, even though new Operation Riptide Cases no longer drop. Professional ownership adds visibility, but sustained buyer demand and future price trends remain uncertain. Compare phase, exterior, float, and StatTrak status when evaluating a purchase, sale, or trade rather than assuming the finish name implies a uniform market value.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Distinctive green marbling and cyan accents

• Emerald and numbered phases broaden buyer choice

• Ownership by Zeus, DANK1NG, and electronic

• Factory New and StatTrak options support different collecting preferences

The investment rating is medium, reflecting its distinctive finish, phase options, and professional ownership alongside continuing case supply. The main risk is that weekly Dreams & Nightmares Case drops leave room for additional knife copies, while sustained demand and future price growth remain uncertain.
