Christmas has arrived early in Destiny 2 in the form of the Dawning event, and the Mistral Lift Linear Fusion rifle is certainly one of the best rewards you can get for your grind.
The latest weapon holds high potential to become top tier in its own archetype, and especially so, if the player knows how to compliment it well with a good build and top-tier rolls. It’s an Adaptive Burst Void Linear Fusion rifle that shoots in three-burst rounds and offers some amazing perks. But before we get into that, let’s take a look at how you can unlock this gun in the first place.
How to get Mistral Lift in Destiny 2
The Mistral Lift is available exclusively during the Dawning event. To get the first copy of the gun, you’ll have to complete event card challenges and eliminate targets with any form of Void damage. This includes your weapons and abilities, as long as they do the required type of damage.
Next, you’ll have to get Dawning Essence to create gifts for the festive season. When you deliver the gifts, you’ll get A gift in Return that can be used at Eva Levante to get specific weapons. Make sure to purchase all the required items to unlock weapon focusing. While this takes care of getting the gun, let’s take a look at the best possible builds for it.
Best Mistral Lift Perks and God Rolls in Destiny 2
The Mistral Lift is reportedly becoming a new darling of the community when it comes to PvE. It’s a far more limited choice when it comes to PvP. Nevertheless, here are the god rolls of the gun for both game modes.
Mistral Lift PvE God Roll
| Part | Perk |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Battery | Enhanced Battery |
| Perk 1 | Envious Assassin |
| Perk 2 | Bait and Switch |
| Masterwork | Handling |
Fluted Barrel and Enhanced Battery offer a bigger magazine size and greater stability that can combine extremely well with the two perks. Bait and Switch will provide a 30% boost to damage, and Envious Assassin also amplifies the damage. Their trigger factors are also similar, making it easy for you to activate both of them by basically doing the same activity.
When it comes to content like Nightfall raids, Withering Gaze can be a good alternative as well. If you have aimed at an enemy for 1.5 seconds, your shot will weaken the enemy you hit. It’s a good choice, but you’ll have longer reload times.
Mistral Lift PvP God Roll
| Part | Perk |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Hammer-Forged Rifling |
| Battery | Projection Fuse |
| Perk 1 | Keep Away |
| Perk 2 | High-Impact Reserves |
| Masterwork | Charge Time |
In PvP, you’ll want to to avoid using Linear Fusion Rifles, as weapons with faster shooting rate will be far more beneficial. Do note that there is no other way to get the Mistral Lift apart from completing events that are currently available on the Dawning event card.
