Unlock the Mistral Lift Linear Fusion Rifle in Destiny 2's Dawning Event!
This guide details how to acquire the Mistral Lift, a limited-time Linear Fusion Rifle available during Destiny 2's Dawning event, and outlines its optimal god roll for PvE.
Acquiring the Mistral Lift:
The Mistral Lift is exclusively obtainable from Eva Levante. To purchase it, you'll need:
- One Gift in Return: Crafted by baking Dawning treats and gifting them to NPCs.
- 25 Dawning Spirits: Earned by completing Dawning quests and bounties from Eva Levante.
Eva also sells Festive Engrams for a Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits, offering a chance (though not guaranteed) to receive the Mistral Lift. Repeat the process until you obtain the weapon.

The God Roll for PvE:
While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't always meta in Destiny 2, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, especially for solo players. Here's the recommended god roll:
| Column |
Roll |
| Barrel |
Fluted Barrel |
| Battery |
Enhanced Battery |
| Perk 1 |
Withering Gaze |
| Perk 2 |
Bait and Switch |
| Masterwork |
Handling |
Perk Explanation:
- Withering Gaze: Applies debuffs to enemies, enhancing damage output.
- Bait and Switch: Provides a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights for a short duration. This synergizes exceptionally well with Withering Gaze.
While Withering Gaze is ideal for solo play, consider Envious Assassin for group activities. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling Masterwork maximize stability and ammo capacity.
PvP Performance: The Mistral Lift's Linear Fusion Rifle archetype isn't optimal for PvP.
