Acquiring the Mistral Lift
The Mistral Lift is a unique Linear Fusion Rifle available only during Destiny 2's Dawning event. To acquire 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 (1 Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), 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 daily.
Once you've gathered the necessary items, visit Eva to directly purchase the Mistral Lift or a Festive Engram. Repeat this process to farm for your desired god roll.
The Optimal Mistral Lift God Roll (PvE)
While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't currently meta in Destiny 2 PvP, the Mistral Lift shines in PvE, especially for solo players. Here's the recommended god roll:
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 (enemy debuff) and Bait and Switch (30% damage boost after aiming down sights). Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and a Handling masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity. While Envious Assassin can replace Withering Gaze for group play, both perks are excellent choices. This build makes the Mistral Lift a formidable PvE weapon.
For PvP, the Mistral Lift's effectiveness is limited, as expected for a Linear Fusion Rifle. However, its PvE performance makes it a worthwhile acquisition for solo and group PvE activities.
