Destiny 2: Obtain the Mistral Lift and Its Divine Properties

Author:Kristen Update:Jan 20,2025

In Destiny 2's Dawning event, players can bake treats for NPCs and farm for new weapons, including the Mistral Lift Linear Fusion Rifle. This guide explains how to obtain it and its optimal god roll.

How to Acquire the Mistral Lift

The Mistral Lift is a limited-time weapon available only during The Dawning event. To obtain it, you'll need to acquire Gifts in Return and Dawning Spirits.

  • Gifts in Return: Bake Dawning treats (like the Neomun-Cake) and give them to NPCs.
  • Dawning Spirits: Earn these by completing Dawning quests and bounties from Eva Levante.

Once you have enough Gifts in Return and Dawning Spirits, trade them with Eva Levante. She offers a Festive Engram (cheaper, but random) or the Mistral Lift directly. You can repeat this process to farm for desired rolls.

The Optimal Mistral Lift God Roll (PvE)

While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't always meta, 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

Why this roll? Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, and Bait and Switch provides a significant damage boost (30%) when aiming down sights. For group play, Envious Assassin could replace Withering Gaze. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo.

PvP Performance

The Mistral Lift isn't ideal for PvP due to its Linear Fusion Rifle archetype.
