How to Get Mistral Lift in Destiny 2
The Mistral Lift is a Linear Fusion Rifle exclusive to Destiny 2's Dawning event, available for a limited time. Acquire it from Eva Levante by exchanging one Gift in Return and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams (1 Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), offering a chance—though not guaranteed—to obtain 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 Dawning quests and bounties from Eva daily.
Once you've gathered enough Gifts in Return and Dawning Spirits, visit Eva to purchase either the Festive Engram or the Mistral Lift directly. Repeat this process until you acquire your desired god roll.
Destiny 2 Mistral Lift God Roll
While Linear Fusion Rifles haven't always dominated the Destiny 2 meta, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, especially for solo players. This is the recommended god roll:
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 perks. Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, and Bait and Switch provides a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights for a second. This combination makes it incredibly powerful in PvE.
Consider Envious Assassin as an alternative to Withering Gaze for group play, though both perks are excellent. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.
While not ideal for PvP, the Mistral Lift's god roll is highly effective for PvE players. Check out The Escapist for more Destiny 2 tips and information.
