Does it matter?

I think he's most likely random, but different items are probably weighted differently, which explains why some things come up more frequently.

Absolutely not random. If it was three out of the past five weeks wouldn't of been dlc content only. That said it really doesn't matter. Minus a few guns we have most he has to offer.

So the community manager in question here actually posts on Reddit, in fact most of that was swiped from Reddit LOL

 

End result, it is sort of random, the CM admits to not knowing everything, and when he first came out and said it wasn't, he didn't have all the information because he is a CM not a Developer.

 

Here is what happens. The Devs have a group of tables with all the  weapons and armor listed on it by source. They can choose what tables Xur has access to for selling things, but once they point it at that table its random. This is how RNG in pretty much every MMO ever has handled things.

 

Regardless, that dude has some great posts on Reddit.
