Bungie has already shown off the raid armor and some foundry weapons modified with the expansion’s SIVA virus look to be the raid weapons.

Xur’s exotic armor selection includes the Helm of Inmost Light for Titans, the Young Ahamkara’s Spine gauntlets for Hunters, and the Light Beyond Nemesis helmet for Warlocks. Two PvP-focused items and one PvE focused item for players to choose from, but far from the best exotic choices....
