Overview

The Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 belongs to the Doppler family. Beyond the phase, the paint seed changes the pink, red, green, or black on the blade.

Tiers like Pink Galaxy or max coverage come from community mapping. Tier 1 marks the most eye-catching patterns with the most liquidity on the secondary market.

What a paint seed is and why it matters

The paint seed (pattern index) is a whole number, usually 0 to 999, fixed when the item is created. It has nothing to do with float. Two identical weapons can have different seeds and different prices on this skin.

Check the seed through the inspect link on Steam. On CubeSKINs, the seed is read automatically along with float and stickers when you get a quote for your inventory or browse the marketplace.

This is the catalog behind our quotes and inspector. Names like Blue Gem Tier 1, Full Fade, or Pink Galaxy follow the community's international conventions.

Tier 11 category

How tier affects price

A rare tier doesn't replace float, stickers, or liquidity, but it can multiply the value. On Case Hardened and Fade, the gap between a common seed and a Tier 1 shows up when you compare prices on Buff163. When you sell, list the right seed. When you buy, confirm the tier before paying a premium.

The bigger picture: how to price CS2 skins and what float means in CS2.

Tier and paint seed FAQ

What does Tier 1 mean on the Butterfly Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4?
Tier 1 groups the most valued paint seeds for this skin in the CubeSKINs catalog, usually the cleanest looks or the ones with the most color (Blue Gem, Full Fade, Pink Galaxy, and similar). Tier 1 seeds tend to be less liquid and priced above the model's average.
How do I check my skin's paint seed?
Use the item's inspect link on Steam or a compatible tool. The pattern index shows up in the item's metadata. On CubeSKINs, the inventory quote and the marketplace read seed, float, and stickers automatically when the item is available.
Does the tier change if I play with the skin?
No. The paint seed and its tier are fixed from the moment the item is created. The float doesn't change either. Only applying or scraping stickers changes the visible attributes.
Can I sell a skin with a rare pattern on CubeSKINs?
Yes. Cataloged patterns are part of the quote analysis. For premium tiers, also compare similar listings on the marketplace and, if needed, ask for a human review on the sale to make sure the seed was recognized.
