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. You can obtain 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.
To acquire 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 have the necessary resources, visit Eva to purchase the Mistral Lift directly or a Festive Engram. Repeat this process until you obtain your desired roll.
The Mistral Lift God Roll for PvE Domination
While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't currently meta in Destiny 2 PvP, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, particularly for solo players. Here's a 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 and Bait and Switch. Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, and Bait and Switch provides a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights for a second. This combination makes the weapon incredibly effective in PvE. Consider Envious Assassin as an alternative to Withering Gaze for group play.
Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and a Handling masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.
While not ideal for PvP, the Mistral Lift's PvE potential makes it a worthwhile acquisition. Check back with The Escapist for more Destiny 2 guides and news.
