New PlayStation-exclusive Exotic sniper rifle, quest, gear and more

Destiny: The Taken King’s big April Update is right around the corner, and that means new things to do, new gear to earn, and a new, higher Light Level to aspire to. As PlayStation.Blog’s resident Destiny aficionado, I reached out to our pals at Bungie to find out what kinds of goodies Guardians playing on PS4 or PS3 can expect come Tuesday.

Let’s kick things off with a note from everybody’s favorite Bungie Community Manager, DeeJ:

Hey, PlayStation Nation!

We’re really excited to provide you with new things to do and new things to earn in the April Update. The Reef is about to become the center of action in the game again, and the party wouldn’t be the same without you. Our friends at PlayStation.Blog have a lot of details to share about the exclusive content coming to Destiny, just for Guardians like you. For more details on the suite of updates coming to Destiny on April 12th, keep those sights trained on Bungie.net.

I hope we’ll see you in the Reef in April!
