How to Get Mistral Lift in Destiny 2

The Mistral Lift is a time-limited Linear Fusion Rifle available only during Destiny 2's Dawning event. To acquire it, you'll need to trade with Eva Levante. She requires one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams (1 Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), but these offer a chance, not a guarantee, of receiving 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 Dawning quests and bounties from Eva Levante.

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 obtain your desired roll.

Destiny 2 Mistral Lift God Roll

While Linear Fusion Rifles haven't always been meta in Destiny 2, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, particularly for solo players. This god roll maximizes its potential:

The key perks are Withering Gaze and Bait and Switch. Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, while Bait and Switch provides a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights for a second. This combination makes it exceptionally powerful in PvE. If you primarily play in groups, consider Envious Assassin instead of Withering Gaze.

Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling masterwork further 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 solo players.
