How does Xur choose which exotic gear to bring?

I wanted to know if its a computer RNG that controls it or if one of the devs hand chooses, or maybe they put the names of each exotic in a hat and draw one out at random. Either way, for every week since TTK has dropped, I started guessing what Xur was going to sell Thursday night. I haven't been wrong. Usually it's not entirely specific, with so many armor pieces I could never get each armor piece right. Usually it will be something like this (my exact prediction yesterday night) "Yeah he's going to have a pretty good Warlock exotic for sure. He won't have a weapon though, he'll have armor engrams, and it's going to be for gauntlets." And it just so happens to be right (unless you dint consider obsidian mind good but hey that's your opinion) Other than that, I've predicted a few exotics by name i.e. Zhalo Supercell, Gravitron Forfeit, and Monte Carlo. Do I just happen to know the inside of a Bungie devs mind as to what he a going to choose? Am I able to predict a computer program? How is it chosen? Edit: So what I've seen is that people don't think its entirely RNG which I can believe. Edit: My guesses are kinda vague, sure, but like I said I can't get every exotic armor right each time. I'll usually get weapons right and engram type right, and I can get 2/3 of the armor pieces right a quarter of the time times. Edit: My predictions for next week as of Nov. 14 are Suros Regime or Monte Carlo, and at least 1 quick revive exotic (Im leaning towards Light Beyond Nemesis)

  • Deej made an offer with the Nine long ago. It was he who freed XUR. he struck a deal. Every day, guardians would arrive on Earth, Mars, Venus, the Moon, and the tower feeling happy. [i]Deej needed it to stop [/i] The deal said and I quote "Deej: I shall free thou, on one condition. XUR: "Anything.." Deej: "You shall be hated if you accept" XUR: "Anything but the Darkness" Deej: "Very well. You shall arrive at the tower, once a week, to bring [i]misery[/i] unto the guardians. They need to remember why we fight. We fight, for vengeance." XUR: "But.. Why?" Deej: "Because. The light is the most powerful substance known, besides the darkness. But the one thing it cannot do, [i][b]is cause hatred [/b][/i]. That will be your job" XUR: "But the guardians, they saved me" Deej: "Fine, then I guess the Darkness will have at you." XUR: "No wait! I accept" Deej: "I knew you would" *Deej walks away, after unchaining XUR from the wall.* XUR had a new life. A new purpose. A new meaning. From this day forth, he would be hated forever.. Alternate ending [spoiler]*Deej zips his pants up* Deej: "Good. At least those tentacles were put to some use"[/spoiler]

            • It's random and it was confirmed random by MegamanExe (Google him). Once Bungie figured out MegaMan was able to determine what Xur was going to bring weeks in advanced, they started manually altering what he brought. As of right now, Xur is RNG.

              • Xur actually goes through a rotation based on forum replies. One week he sells a weapon and earn/xurn posts. Next week he sells and posts are Xur is shit. See how it works?

                  • Xurs inventory has always been controlled by Bungie. Don't trust that they've said otherwise.

                  • Xur will always bring 1 armor for each class, 1 Legacy engram (year 1 exotics only), and will alternate between a year 2 engram and a weapon. If you're asking what determines what specific items he brings, it's RNG.

                  • Sadly it's a random script. It pulls from a selection of items and each week a new selection is out in place. The only thing worthwhile due has is the three of coins .

                  • Bungie says rng. The rest of us believe bungie is full of dog shit. Remember that time Xur "forgot" to sell a weapon? They pulled Gally from his inventory
