How to Get Mistral Lift in Destiny 2
The Mistral Lift is an exclusive Linear Fusion Rifle available only during The Dawning event in *Destiny 2*. Time is of the essence, as you'll have a limited window to secure this weapon. To obtain the Mistral Lift, you'll need to visit Eva Levante, who will exchange it for one Gift in Return and 25 Dawning Spirits. Alternatively, Eva offers a Festive Engram for one Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits, though this method doesn't guarantee you'll receive the Mistral Lift.
To earn a Gift in Return, you must bake one of the Dawning's holiday treats, such as the Neomun-Cake, and then gift it to an NPC. Dawning Spirits, the event's currency, can be collected by completing Dawning quests and bounties, which are available daily from Eva.
Once you've amassed the required Gifts in Return and Dawning Spirits, head back to Eva to either directly purchase the Mistral Lift or try your luck with a Festive Engram. You can repeat this process as many times as needed to chase the perfect god roll.
Destiny 2 Mistral Lift God Roll
Linear Fusion Rifles may not be the current meta in *Destiny 2*, but the Mistral Lift stands out as a formidable option for PvE, especially for solo players. Here's the recommended god roll:
| Column | Roll |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Battery | Enhanced Battery |
| Perk 1 | Withering Gaze |
| Perk 2 | Bait and Switch |
| Masterwork | Handling |
The key to this god roll lies in the combination of Withering Gaze and Bait and Switch. Withering Gaze allows you to debuff enemies independently, which is invaluable for solo play. Bait and Switch boosts your damage by an additional 30% when procced, making the Mistral Lift exceptionally powerful in PvE scenarios. Remember, you'll need to aim down sights for a second to activate Bait and Switch.
If you're not a solo player, consider Envious Assassin as an alternative to Withering Gaze. Both perks are excellent, depending on your playstyle. Additionally, opting for Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and a Handling Masterwork will enhance the weapon's stability and ammo capacity, further optimizing its performance.
In PvP, the Mistral Lift may not shine as brightly due to its nature as a Linear Fusion Rifle. However, for PvE enthusiasts, this weapon is definitely worth pursuing.
