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 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, acquired by completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva.

Repeat the process of obtaining Gifts and Spirits to acquire multiple Festive Engrams or directly purchase Mistral Lifts until you obtain your desired roll.

Destiny 2 Mistral Lift God Roll

While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't currently meta in Destiny 2 PvP, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, particularly for solo players. The recommended god roll is:

BarrelFluted Barrel

Perk 1Withering Gaze
Perk 2Bait and Switch
MasterworkHandling

Withering Gaze and Bait and Switch are key. Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, and Bait and Switch provides a 30% damage boost (after a brief ADS period). Envious Assassin is a viable alternative to Withering Gaze for group play. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.

For PvP, Linear Fusion Rifles generally underperform. However, the Mistral Lift's PvE capabilities make it a worthwhile acquisition.
