Mistral Lift God Roll Guide Released!

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, bringing with it the opportunity to bake treats for NPCs and acquire new weapons, including the coveted Mistral Lift. This guide details how to obtain the Mistral Lift and its optimal god roll.

Acquiring the Mistral Lift

The Mistral Lift, a Linear Fusion Rifle, is exclusive to The Dawning event, making it a time-limited acquisition. You can obtain it from Eva Levante. The exchange requires one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams for a Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits, although this method doesn't guarantee the Mistral Lift.

To obtain a Gift in Return, bake a Dawning treat (like the Neomun-Cake) and present it to an NPC. Dawning Spirits are earned by completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva.

Once you've gathered the necessary Gifts and Spirits, visit Eva to purchase either the Festive Engram or the Mistral Lift directly. Repeat this process until you acquire your desired roll.

The Mistral Lift God Roll for PvE

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

The combination of Withering Gaze (for enemy debuffs) and Bait and Switch (a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights) makes this weapon exceptionally powerful in PvE encounters. Note that Bait and Switch requires a brief ADS period.

For players who frequently engage in group activities, Envious Assassin could replace Withering Gaze, but both perks are excellent choices. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and a Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.

While not ideal for PvP, the Mistral Lift's PvE performance makes it a worthwhile acquisition for players focusing on that game mode.
