About them 7 Carbanti III in the STR Gear challenge...

Came here for the same thing. It should be 5 because I really believe it is 3-5 we can get. This should be changed if 7 is max, then we should be getting 5-7 every time, especially NOT 3. 5 should be minimum if 7 is the max.

Once went three consecutive credit heists with 2.5, 1.5, 2.5, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5. Blah.

I got 2.5 x 2 today!!! Vegas here I come.

I’ve gotten 4 Zetas and 10million in the credit heist. I’ve never once seen a 7 carbantis drop.

Totally with you - I've had both - I've even gotten a 10 mil and a 5 mil one after the other.
I got 5/5 shards on simming a hard node.

I'm always so conservative with anything I do in this game precisely because of the constant troll moves.

Why would they want to give 7 when they can sell you one full carbanti at 1400 a pop?

rumour has it that it's actually getting 6 carbanti's that is impossible.

I got my first 6 pull last week. So out of all the challenges we have had since the reorganization of the challenges, I think it’s safe to say the drop rate of 6 or 7 is less than .001%. Which is a complete joke.

EDIT:

This is what was said in 2017 by eaJesse when the challenges were redone.

“Challenge Completion and Rewards
Character Gear Challenge rewards have been increased so that higher tiers always provide better rewards.
When the final tier is simmable for all Character Challenges, a multi-sim button is available to sim all available challenges at once. (Timers still apply)”

The highest tier for the carbanti challenge now drop lower amount of carbantis that they did before. And really for end game players, that is the only piece of gear they need from all challenges combined.

Yupppppppp, never above 5. I don't even mind getting a 7 once a week.

Come on, EA. Or do we have to submit a bug report?

Yup, could be a dev set the parameter from <=7 to <7, PLEASE REVIEW YOUR CODE before pushing it into production!

So, @CG_Kozispoon made a comment on this over in the ea.graveyard

Yet I, for one, have never ever gotten 6 or 7. I use a little $, I play every day, I usually sim the challenge, but sometimes auto it - depending on if I have sim tickets or not. Been playing since game start. This isn't like other parts of the game - we've gone over that above - a low chance still means it's remotely possible. Like I said, I've gotten 10mil on the heist 3 times now - that's not too bad. Out of all Heists, it's a low %, but it still happens.

I got a 5/5 on character shards in a hard node sim for Baze - that chance of happening has got to be incredible - I got a scratch-off that day just because - but day in, and day out, eventually, that stuff does happen. Add in several double zeta drops - those are like double rainbows, but they happen.

I'm saying again, 6 or 7 carbanti's in the challenge event that you can hit 5x a day 3 x a week - week in and week out - I've been watching, and it has never happened.

I didn’t even like the answer in that thread from Kozi. It was very vague. Did they sim some battles to see a 6 or 7 drop? The answer they gave seems like they just looked at the possible rewards and said “7’s are included in the reward tier” without ever checking to see one drop.
