Farm The Dawning for Destiny 2’s New Linear Fusion and Its Multiple God Rolls

The Dawning has made its festive return to Destiny 2, bringing with it an abundance of seasonal cheer and exciting rewards as we approach the end of 2024. Players can once again delve into the delightful tradition of cookie baking.

This year, Guardians can utilize Eva Levante’s unique oven to craft cookies using ingredients gathered from various in-game activities. Delivering these treats to beloved NPCs will yield enticing loot, including a recently introduced Linear Fusion Rifle.

Among the offerings this season is the Mistral Lift weapon, along with other Dawning weapons from previous years, which can be focused at Eva for the price of one Gift in Return and 25 Dawning Spirit per weapon. While this may seem steep—especially since the Gift in Return is a rare reward from cookie deliveries—players can benefit from our guide on earning Dawning Spirit more efficiently.

Getting Started with the Dawning

To unlock the weapon focusing feature at Eva, players will need to purchase the Giftwrapped and Limited Exchange Tickets for a total of 70 Dawning Spirit. It’s also highly recommended to acquire the Perky Presents upgrade for an additional 35 Dawning Spirit. This upgrade enhances the likelihood of weapons dropping with multiple perks in the left perk column.

This strategic move is particularly advantageous for the Mistral Lift, as it has two distinct coveted rolls that players should aim for.

Understanding Mistral Lift God Rolls

God Roll 1	God Roll 2
Barrel: Arrowhead Brake Battery: Enhanced Battery Perk 1: Envious Arsenal Perk 2: Bait and Switch Masterwork: Charge Time	Barrel: Arrowhead Brake Battery: Enhanced Battery Perk 1: Withering Gaze Perk 2: Precision Instrument Masterwork: Charge Time

Mistral Lift offers two desirable god rolls that are worth pursuing.

As of the Episode Revenant update, the Mistral Lift stands out as the most adaptable Linear Fusion Rifle available, offering a vast array of perks suited for different play styles—ranging from damage support to high DPS contributions.

Your primary focus should be on obtaining the Arrowhead Brake and Enhanced Battery, as these features reduce recoil significantly and increase magazine capacity, respectively.

For the first god roll, consider the synergistic combination of Envious Arsenal and Bait and Switch. Envious Arsenal reloads the Mistral Lift from reserves when donning your other two weapons, while Bait and Switch enhances damage output by 30% for 10 seconds following this action.

Alternatively, you may opt for a playstyle emphasizing target weakening with Withering Gaze and Precision Instrument. Withering Gaze allows for debuffing enemies after aiming down sights for a brief period, and Precision Instrument provides stacking precision damage boosts, maintaining DPS relevance.

Although Linear Fusion Rifles may not currently dominate the meta—especially with Heavy Grenade Launchers taking precedence due to revenue-generating artifact perks—there is potential for resurgence, especially with the anticipated launch of Heretic’s artifact in February. Until that time, the Mistral Lift remains a versatile choice, delivering consistent DPS and proving worthwhile to farm for future benefits.

If you’ve already secured your ideal Mistral Lift roll, consider shifting your focus to farming the Glacioclasm’s new PvP-oriented god roll without delay.
