Unlock the Destiny 2 Mistral Lift: A Guide to Obtaining This Linear Fusion Rifle and its God Roll

The Dawning event in Destiny 2 has returned, bringing with it the opportunity to bake treats for NPCs and farm for new weapons, including the sought-after Mistral Lift. This guide details how to acquire the Mistral Lift and its optimal god roll.

Acquiring the Mistral Lift

The Mistral Lift is a Linear Fusion Rifle exclusive to Destiny 2's Dawning event, available for a limited time. To obtain it, you'll need to trade with Eva Levante. The exchange requires one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also offers Festive Engrams (one Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), but these don't guarantee the Mistral Lift.

Gifts in Return are earned by baking Dawning treats (like the Neomun-Cake) and gifting them to NPCs. Dawning Spirits are the event's currency, obtained by completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva. Repeat the process until you acquire the desired roll.

The God Roll for PvE Domination

While Linear Fusion Rifles haven't always been meta in Destiny 2, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, especially for solo players. The recommended god roll is:

Why this roll? Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, and Bait and Switch provides a significant 30% damage boost (after aiming down sights for a second). For group play, Envious Assassin could replace Withering Gaze. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.

PvP performance is less impressive, but for PvE enthusiasts, the Mistral Lift's god roll is a powerful addition to your arsenal.
