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. Obtain it from Eva Levante by trading one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams (1 Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), but 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, the event's currency, are obtained by completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva.
Repeatedly visit Eva with sufficient Gifts and Spirits to acquire Festive Engrams or the Mistral Lift directly until you obtain your desired roll.
Destiny 2 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. This recommended god roll maximizes its potential:
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 crucial. Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, and Bait and Switch provides a 30% damage boost (after a brief ADS period). While Envious Assassin is a viable alternative to Withering Gaze for group play, both perks are excellent. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.
Though less effective in PvP, the Mistral Lift's PvE capabilities make it worthwhile for solo players. Check out The Escapist for more Destiny 2 tips and guides.
