Unlock the Destiny 2 Mistral Lift: A Dawning Delight
The Dawning event in Destiny 2 has returned, bringing with it the opportunity to bake treats for NPCs and acquire new weapons, including the coveted Mistral Lift Linear Fusion Rifle. This guide outlines how to obtain 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. While Eva also sells Festive Engrams (one Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), these offer a chance at the Mistral Lift, but it's not guaranteed.
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.
Once you've gathered the necessary resources, visit Eva Levante to purchase the Mistral Lift directly or try your luck with a Festive Engram. You can repeat this process until you acquire your desired roll.
The God Roll for PvE Domination
While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't currently meta in Destiny 2 PvP, the Mistral Lift shines in PvE, particularly for solo players. The recommended god roll maximizes its potential:
| Stat | Roll |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Battery | Enhanced Battery |
| Perk 1 | Withering Gaze |
| Perk 2 | Bait and Switch |
| Masterwork | Handling |
The key perks are Withering Gaze (for enemy debuffs) and Bait and Switch (for a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights for a second). While Envious Assassin offers a viable alternative to Withering Gaze for group play, both are excellent choices. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and a Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.
For PvP, the Mistral Lift's effectiveness is limited, as is typical for Linear Fusion Rifles. However, its PvE performance makes it a worthwhile acquisition for solo players and those focusing on PvE content.
