How to Get Mistral Lift & Its God Roll in Destiny 2

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 acquire new weapons, including the sought-after Mistral Lift. This guide details how to obtain the Mistral Lift and its optimal "god roll" configuration.

Acquiring the Mistral Lift

The Mistral Lift is a Linear Fusion Rifle exclusive to The 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 sells Festive Engrams (one Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), which have a chance to drop the Mistral Lift, but this method is 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 to purchase the Mistral Lift directly or try your luck with a Festive Engram. You can repeat this process until you achieve your desired roll.

The Mistral Lift God Roll

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

Withering Gaze and Bait and Switch are key. Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, and Bait and Switch provides a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights for a second. For group play, Envious Assassin could replace Withering Gaze, but both are excellent choices. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and a Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.

While not ideal for PvP, the Mistral Lift's PvE performance, especially with this god roll, makes it a worthwhile acquisition for PvE players.
