Unlock the Mistral Lift in Destiny 2's Dawning Event: A Guide to the 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 Linear Fusion Rifle. This guide details how to obtain the Mistral Lift and its optimal god roll.

Acquiring the Mistral Lift

The Mistral Lift is a limited-time weapon exclusive to The Dawning event. 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 (1 Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), 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. Repeat the process until you acquire the Mistral Lift.

The God Roll for Maximum Impact

While Linear Fusion Rifles may not dominate the Destiny 2 meta, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, particularly for solo players. Here's the recommended god roll:

The combination of Withering Gaze (enemy debuff) and Bait and Switch (30% damage boost after aiming down sights) makes this a powerful PvE weapon. Consider Envious Assassin as an alternative to Withering Gaze for group play. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.

While not ideal for PvP, the Mistral Lift's god roll provides a significant advantage in PvE scenarios. Check out The Escapist for more Destiny 2 guides and strategies.
