Unlock the Mistral Lift in Destiny 2's Dawning Event: A Guide to the God Roll

The Dawning event in Destiny 2 has returned, bringing with it the opportunity to bake treats for NPCs and farm for new weapons, including the coveted Mistral Lift Linear Fusion Rifle. This guide details how to acquire the Mistral Lift and its optimal god roll.

Acquiring 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 resources from Eva Levante:

• One Gift in Return: Earned by baking Dawning treats (like the Neomun-Cake) and gifting them to NPCs.
• 25 Dawning Spirits: The event's currency, obtained by completing Dawning quests and bounties from Eva Levante.

Eva Levante will directly exchange these resources for the Mistral Lift. She also offers Festive Engrams (1 Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), which have a chance to drop the Mistral Lift, though it's not guaranteed. Repeat this process until you acquire your desired roll.

The God Roll for PvE Domination

While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't currently meta in Destiny 2 PvP, the Mistral Lift shines in PvE, especially for solo players. The recommended god roll maximizes its potential:

Why this roll excels:

• Withering Gaze: Applies debuffs to enemies, enhancing damage output.
• Bait and Switch: Provides a significant 30% damage boost after aiming down sights for a second. This synergizes perfectly with Withering Gaze.

For group play, consider swapping Withering Gaze for Envious Assassin, but both perks are highly effective. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and a Handling Masterwork provide superior stability and ammo capacity.

Conclusion

The Mistral Lift, with its optimal god roll, is a powerful addition to any PvE arsenal during Destiny 2's Dawning event. Don't miss out on acquiring this valuable weapon! For more Destiny 2 guides and strategies, check out The Escapist.
