How to Get Mistral Lift in Destiny 2
Mistral Lift is a limited-time Linear Fusion Rifle available only during Destiny 2's Dawning event. Acquire it from Eva Levante by trading one "Gift in Return" and 25 Dawning Spirits. Eva also sells Festive Engrams (1 Gift in Return and 10 Dawning Spirits), but these offer a random chance at the Mistral Lift.

Gifts in Return are earned by baking Dawning treats (like the Neomun-Cake) and gifting them to NPCs. Dawning Spirits are the event's currency, obtained through completing daily Dawning quests and bounties from Eva.
Repeat the process of obtaining Gifts and Spirits to repeatedly acquire Festive Engrams or the Mistral Lift directly from Eva until you obtain your desired roll.
Destiny 2 Mistral Lift God Roll
While Linear Fusion Rifles aren't currently meta in Destiny 2 PvP, the Mistral Lift excels in PvE, particularly for solo players. This is the recommended god roll:
| Column | Roll |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Battery | Enhanced Battery |
| Perk 1 | Withering Gaze |
| Perk 2 | Bait and Switch |
| Masterwork | Handling |
The optimal perks are Withering Gaze (for enemy debuffs) and Bait and Switch (for a 30% damage boost after aiming down sights). Consider Envious Assassin over Withering Gaze for group play. Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and Handling Masterwork enhance stability and ammo capacity. While not ideal for PvP, this build makes Mistral Lift a powerful PvE weapon.
