We saw a ton of new stuff in the stream and ViDoc today. Here are a few more gear updates we were able to glean from the stream: First off, Bungie showed us a clip of the new SIVA themed Exotic Pulse Rifle first described in the Game Informer Article a few weeks back, and assuming nothing changes before launch it works as advertised. That is, on a Precision kill, a swarm of red SIVA bolts shoots out and seeks nearby enemies. This thing looks seriously fun to use, and probably can do a real number on groups of enemies because

Private Matchmaking First time we get to go fighting through a social space and in a blizzard. Ornaments look bad ass.

Private Matches & Supremacy Guide!
Private Matches are finally coming to Destiny’s Crucible! Confirmed in today’s live stream, this news largely overshadows all of the other Rise of Iron information revealed, and rightly so!

PvP Legends
PvP Legends is a new leaderboard that helps Guardians gain a deeper insight into their Crucible standings. You can research your opponents and analyze your own performance in the same place you find your news, reviews, weapon stats, and fireteams.
