★ StatTrak™ Bayonet | Doppler (Minimal Wear) Phase 2

Skin overview

The ★ Bayonet | Doppler (Phase 2) is recognised by its pink-to-violet marbled blade paired with the plain olive grip and steel crossguard. In Minimal Wear the Phase 2 colours keep their gloss, and any marks are small and sit near the tip or along the edge rather than across the pattern. It gives the same pink look as a cleaner copy without paying for a perfect surface.

Item type: knife. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The finish covers only the blade: pink and magenta dominate, broken up by darker purple and almost black marbled veins that run along its length. The fuller groove and the hole near the tip pick up lighter, glossy highlights, which make the colour look layered rather than flat.

In Minimal Wear small scratches appear on the tip and along the cutting edge, sometimes with faint marks on the spine. The middle of the blade and the fuller usually stay clean, so the pattern itself is intact. In game the difference from Factory New is hard to see at normal viewing distance and shows mainly in close inspect. The grip and steel crossguard remain unchanged.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.08

The float of ★ StatTrak™ Bayonet | Doppler Phase 2 ranges from 0 to 0.08; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.08 — 12% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

What to check before buying

• Look at the pattern on the inspect screen, since the share of pink versus dark purple and black patches differs from copy to copy.
• Check the tip and cutting edge, because these are the first places where scratches show.
• Note where the float sits within the wear range, as a low float in Minimal Wear can look close to Factory New.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ and whether it has a name tag you are happy to keep.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want the Phase 2 colours in hand without paying for a flawless blade.
• Buyers who use the knife daily and rarely look at it in close inspect.
• A sensible entry into the Phase 2 look with almost no visible compromise in game.
