Mistral Lift: Unlocking the God Roll in Destiny 2

Unlock the Destiny 2 Mistral Lift: A Guide to Obtaining 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 sought-after 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.

• Gifts in Return: These are crafted by baking Dawning holiday treats (like the Neomun-Cake) and gifting them to NPCs.
• Dawning Spirits: This event currency is earned by completing Dawning quests and bounties obtained daily from Eva Levante.

Once you've gathered the necessary items, visit Eva Levante to directly purchase the Mistral Lift or a Festive Engram (which has a chance to contain the Mistral Lift; requires one Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits). You can repeat this process until you acquire your desired roll.

The Optimal Mistral Lift God Roll (PvE)

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

• Withering Gaze & Bait and Switch: This combination is highly effective. Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, while Bait and Switch provides a significant 30% damage boost (after aiming down sights for one second).

• Alternative to Withering Gaze: For players who frequently engage in group activities, Envious Assassin offers a viable alternative.

• Other Stats: Fluted Barrel improves stability, Enhanced Battery increases ammo capacity, and a Handling masterwork further enhances stability and reload speed.

PvP Performance

While excellent in PvE, the Mistral Lift's performance in PvP is limited due to its Linear Fusion Rifle archetype.
