Mistral Lift God Roll Guide for Destiny 2

Unlock the Destiny 2 Mistral Lift: A Guide to Obtaining This Linear Fusion Rifle and its God Roll

The Dawning event in Destiny 2 has returned, offering players the chance to bake treats for NPCs and acquire new weapons, including the sought-after Mistral Lift. This guide details how to obtain the Mistral Lift and its optimal god roll.

Acquiring the Mistral Lift

The Mistral Lift is a Linear Fusion Rifle exclusive to Destiny 2's Dawning event, available for a limited time. To obtain 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 (one Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), these offer a chance, but 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, the event's currency, are obtained by completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva.

Once you've gathered the necessary resources, visit Eva to purchase either the Festive Engram or the Mistral Lift directly. You can repeat this process until you acquire your desired roll.

The Mistral Lift God Roll

While Linear Fusion Rifles haven't dominated the Destiny 2 meta recently, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, particularly for solo players. The recommended god roll is:

The key perks are Withering Gaze (for self-debuffing enemies) and Bait and Switch (providing a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights for a second). While Envious Assassin is a viable alternative to Withering Gaze for group play, both are excellent choices. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.

PvP performance is less impressive, as is typical for Linear Fusion Rifles. However, for PvE enthusiasts, the Mistral Lift's god roll is highly recommended.
