How to Get Mistral Lift in Destiny 2
Mistral Lift is a limited-time Linear Fusion Rifle available only during Destiny 2's Dawning event. You'll need to acquire it from 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), but these offer a random chance at 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 daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva.
Once you've gathered enough Gifts and Spirits, visit Eva to purchase either the Festive Engram or the Mistral Lift directly. Repeat this process until you obtain your desired roll.
Destiny 2 Mistral Lift God Roll
While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't always meta in Destiny 2, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, particularly for solo players. Here's a recommended god roll:
| Column | Roll |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Battery | Enhanced Battery |
| Perk 1 | Withering Gaze |
| Perk 2 | Bait and Switch |
| Masterwork | Handling |
Withering Gaze and Bait and Switch are key. Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, while Bait and Switch provides a 30% damage boost (after a brief ADS period). For group play, Envious Assassin might replace Withering Gaze, but both are excellent choices.
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 worthwhile. Check out The Escapist for more Destiny 2 tips and guides.
