Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler

Origin Story

The Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler features a distinctive green and black marbleized pattern, achieved with metallic paints and a candy-coated finish. This Covert pistol was released on September 22, 2021, as part of The 2021 Train Collection during Operation Riptide. Its visual identity, particularly the prominent slide with the green Doppler pattern, connects it to other popular Gamma Doppler finishes.

Drop Chance

Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler is Covert, a Red-tier skin, the rarest standard drop grade. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the 2021 Train Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Covert drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There is 1 other Covert skin in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.
