To everyone saying that Xur is Rng... He's not, and heres your proof.

The chances of him being Rng are astronomical. The proof: Voidfang vestments There are 6 types of armor exotics for the Warlock: 1/6 chance of getting the voidfangs, or roughly 16.66% Now to get the probability of this happening 4 times in a row, we simply take 0.1666 (16.66% in its decimal form) and put it to the power of 4. So what does 0.1666 * 0.1666 * 0.1666 * 0.1666 get us: 0.0007703 Now converting 0.0007703 to a percent we get: 0.07703% chance (roughly) of getting the voidfang 4 WEEKS IN A ROW. I'M SPEAKING OF THE MATH OF GETTING IT FOUR WEEKS IN A ROW NOT ON A WEEK BY WEEK BASIS. We can from this data assume that Xur is not RNG. Conclusion: Bungie enjoys taking baths in the salty tears of Warlocks. Edit: Well a few people seem to have a problem with my math, so if you do, would you mind posting something correct. Aswell as I did not take into account that some items may be weighted more then others. Edit 2: In response to everyone saying that I was to quick to jump the gun that Xur is not RNG, well you are right, there is still a chance that it may of in fact happened, but i stand by the fact that there is a 0.07703% chance of this happening, so i assumed that this would not of happened. Edit 3: Number 1: Yay look at us being all fancy and trending Edit 4: Trying to maybe sleep but so many buzzing phone notifications Edit 5: someone brought up the point that one of the multiple factors may be to decide between arms, chest, and helm, then decide between exotics which does make some sense for the sun-breakers incident. but this brings the chances down even lower: around 0.01928125% chance Edit 6: If anyone from bungie reads this would you be able to confirm or deny the randomness of Xur? Edit 7: back from school Edit 8: It has come to my attention that some people may be misunderstanding my work, I'm not saying the probability of him getting the voidfang this week is 0.077% I'm saying the probability that he were to sell Voidfang 4 weeks in a row is 0.077% (Assuming he sells all exotic armor, and that all are weighted evenly, which i either believe some are weighted more, or its pre-chosen!)

  • It actually 1 out of 6 items. Its like rolling 4 times in a row a 6 on the dice which is more then possible and can be trully pure randomness. Same arandomness like I got 4 Universal remotes in a row from exotic weapon drops.
