Holy moly, Guardians! The Dawning 2025 has absolutely blown my mind – turning Vex milk into cookies while hunting god-roll weapons feels like Christmas on steroids! I've been baking treats for Eva Levante non-stop since December, and let me tell ya, these new weapons are straight fire 🔥. With six exclusive bangers up for grabs – including the shiny new Mistral Lift Linear Fusion Rifle – I've practically moved into the Tower kitchen. The perk pools this year? Chef's kiss! Forget grandma's fruitcake; these beauties are the real seasonal treats. I've been grinding like a madman, and lemme break down why you should too before this event vanishes faster than my willpower near holiday cookies.

This Arc Glaive? Total newbie bait but still kinda fun! Replenishing Aegis + Close to Melee turns you into a discount Captain America – blocking damage to reload while your melee hits harder after a projectile. I tried Air Trigger + Voltshot for some zap-zap action, but honestly? It felt as clunky as my first Sparrow race. If you're F2P and desperate, go for it, but otherwise... meh. Here's the scoop for PvE and PvP:

Avalanche

Avalanche’s back, baby! And oh boy, Subsistence + Incandescent turns this LMG into a literal BBQ party – scorching red bars until they go boom! 💥 But let's keep it 100: its DPS is weaker than my post-feast stamina. PvP though? Closing Time + Vorpal Weapon is lowkey cracked against supers! I wiped a whole team in Iron Banner yesterday – felt like Santa delivering void-shaped coal.

This beast got buffed like I got hyped on espresso cookies! Overflow + Reservoir Burst? Sweet baby Jesus, the add-clear potential! ⚡ I melted a whole wave of Thrall with one shot – pure dopamine! For bosses, Controlled Burst slaps hard. And PvPers, Lone Wolf + Closing Time fixes this fusion’s sluggishness. It’s not Forsaken-era OP, but still makes me yell "YEEHAW!" on kills.

Mistral Lift

This LFR? The GOAT of Dawning 2025! Envious Arsenal auto-reloads it when you swap – genius for DPS phases! Pair with Bait and Switch? Chef’s kiss for boss melting 👌. Rewind Rounds + Precision Instrument also shreds champions. But Crucible? LOL, nope – leave it in the vault unless you wanna get tea-bagged.

OMG, this pulse rifle is colder than my ex’s heart ❄️! Rimestealer + Headstone = Stasis crystal madness for PvE. But PvP? Lone Wolf + Kill Clip is BONKERS. I got hatemail after two-bursting sweats – smoother than eggnog! Destiny’s best 450 pulse? Damn right!

Cold Steel is this sword’s only party trick – freezing baddies with swings! Fun for Stasis builds, but otherwise as exciting as socks for Christmas. Compared to The Lament? Pfft, it’s like bringing a butter knife to a nuke fight.

My Future Wishlist for Dawning 2026

After this epic lootsplosion, I’m manifesting even wilder stuff next year! Gimme:

🔥 Exotic class-themed cookies that give temporary supers!

❄️ A snowball fight PvP mode with physics-based chaos

💥 Perks that synergize with baking – imagine "Sugar Rush" boosting sprint speed after cookie delivery!

Mark my words, Bungie – I’ll be back, oven mitts on, ready to grind till I’m sugar-comatosed! 🍪✨
