How to Get Mistral Lift in Destiny 2
The Mistral Lift is a time-limited Dawning event exclusive. Obtain it from Eva Levante by trading one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams (one "Gift in Return" and 10 Dawning Spirits), but the Mistral Lift isn't guaranteed.
"Gifts in Return" are earned by baking Dawning treats (like the Neomun-Cake) and gifting them to NPCs. Dawning Spirits are the event currency, acquired through completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva.
Exchange your earned "Gifts in Return" and Dawning Spirits with Eva for either a Festive Engram or the Mistral Lift directly. Repeat this process to farm for desired rolls.
Destiny 2 Mistral Lift God Roll
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 is:
Column | 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 (a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights). While requiring ADS, this combination makes it potent in PvE. Envious Assassin is a viable alternative to Withering Gaze for non-solo play. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling masterwork enhance stability and ammo.
PvP performance is limited, as expected for a Linear Fusion Rifle. However, the Mistral Lift's PvE capabilities make it worthwhile for PvE players.
