How to Acquire the Mistral Lift
The Mistral Lift is a Linear Fusion Rifle exclusive to Destiny 2's Dawning event, available for a limited time only. Obtain it from Eva Levante by exchanging one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams (one "Gift in Return" and 10 Dawning Spirits), but these offer a random chance at the Mistral Lift.
To earn "Gifts in Return," bake Dawning treats (like the Neomun-Cake) and present them to NPCs. Dawning Spirits, the event's currency, are acquired by completing Dawning quests and bounties from Eva daily.
Once you've gathered sufficient "Gifts in Return" and Dawning Spirits, approach Eva to directly purchase the Mistral Lift or a Festive Engram. Repeat this process to farm for ideal rolls.
The Ideal Mistral Lift God Roll (PvE)
While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't currently meta in Destiny 2, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, particularly for solo players. The recommended god roll is:
| Stat | Roll |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Battery | Enhanced Battery |
| Perk 1 | Withering Gaze |
| Perk 2 | Bait and Switch |
| Masterwork | Handling |
Key Perks: Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, while Bait and Switch boosts damage by 30% after aiming down sights for a second. Consider Envious Assassin as a viable alternative to Withering Gaze for group play.
Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.
While not ideal for PvP, the Mistral Lift's PvE performance makes it a worthwhile acquisition. Check The Escapist for more Destiny 2 guides and news.
