Unlock the Destiny 2 Mistral Lift: A Guide to Obtaining the 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 coveted Mistral Lift Linear Fusion Rifle. This guide details how to acquire the Mistral Lift and its optimal god roll.

Acquiring the Mistral Lift

The Mistral Lift is a limited-time weapon available only during The Dawning event. To obtain it, you'll need to trade with Eva Levante. The exchange requires one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams for a Gift and 10 Dawning Spirits, but these offer a chance at the Mistral Lift, not a guarantee.

Gifts in Return are earned by baking Dawning treats (like the Neomun-Cake) and gifting them to NPCs. Dawning Spirits are the event currency, acquired by completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva.

Repeat your visits to Eva, exchanging your earned resources until you acquire the Mistral Lift.

The God Roll: Maximizing PvE Potential

While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't currently meta in Destiny 2 PvP, the Mistral Lift shines in PvE, especially for solo players. Here's the recommended god roll:

The key perks are Withering Gaze (for enemy debuffs) and Bait and Switch (a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights for a second). While Envious Assassin is a viable alternative to Withering Gaze for group play, both are excellent choices. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.

For PvP, the Mistral Lift's performance is less impressive, but its PvE capabilities make it a worthwhile acquisition.
