How to Get Mistral Lift in Destiny 2

Mistral Lift is a limited-time weapon available only during Destiny 2's Dawning event. It's purchased from Eva Levante. The cost is one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams (one "Gift in Return" and 10 Dawning Spirits), which have a chance to drop the Mistral Lift.

To acquire a "Gift in Return," bake a Dawning treat (like the Neomun-Cake) and give it to an NPC. Dawning Spirits are earned by completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva.

Once you have the required materials, visit Eva to purchase either the Festive Engram or the Mistral Lift directly. You can repeat this process until you obtain your desired roll.

Destiny 2 Mistral Lift God Roll

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

Withering Gaze and Bait and Switch are crucial. Withering Gaze debuffs enemies, and Bait and Switch provides a 30% damage boost (after a brief ADS). Envious Assassin is a viable alternative to Withering Gaze for non-solo play.

Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity.

While not ideal for PvP, the Mistral Lift's PvE performance makes it worthwhile. Check The Escapist for more Destiny 2 guides.
