In Destiny 2's returning Dawning event, players can bake treats for NPCs and farm new weapons. Here's how to obtain the Mistral Lift, a Linear Fusion Rifle exclusive to this limited-time event, and its optimal roll.
How to Get the Mistral Lift
The Mistral Lift is only available during The Dawning event. You can acquire it from Eva Levante by trading one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams for one "Gift in Return" and 10 Dawning Spirits, though the Mistral Lift isn't guaranteed.
To earn "Gifts in Return," bake Dawning treats (like the Neomun-Cake) and give them to NPCs. Dawning Spirits are earned by completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva. Once you have the required items, trade with Eva to receive either the Festive Engram or the Mistral Lift directly. You can repeat this process to farm for ideal rolls.
Mistral Lift God Roll
While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't currently meta in Destiny 2 PvP, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, especially for solo players. The recommended god roll is:
Stat | Roll |
---|---|
Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
Battery | Enhanced Battery |
Perk 1 | Withering Gaze |
Perk 2 | Bait and Switch |
Masterwork | Handling |
The key perks are Withering Gaze (for enemy debuffs) and Bait and Switch (for a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights). While Envious Assassin is a viable alternative to Withering Gaze for group play, both perks are excellent. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and a Handling masterwork improve stability and ammo capacity.
In summary, the Mistral Lift, while not a PvP powerhouse, is a valuable PvE weapon. Check out The Escapist for more Destiny 2 guides and news.
