Is it my imagination or did we use to get guaranteed good gear in galactic challenges? Now there are prize boxes with mk4 stun guns and other useless gear mixed in.
It's functionally the same, while being fairly easier on the dev side. Don't really see any notable downsides unless you're one of those people constantly plagued by terrible luck.
Also, are zetas not guaranteed on T3? Every time I’ve simmed them, I’ve hit them. Am I just blessed?
It used to be that you could get 0-2 zetas, but they changed it to a guaranteed zeta instead because it just feels bad if RNG was bad and you didn't get anything

The rewards are still the same
Yes, there is a chance to get mk 4 stun guns, but previously we've had GCs where CG gave us Mk 4 stun guns
Instead of rotating gear, they decided to randomize the same gear they were giving us
But the gear pool is the same (Mk 4 stun guns, Mk 5 stun guns, stun cuffs etc)
Its just as bad as it is good
You can get Mk 3 carbs back to back, likewise, you can get Mk 4 stun guns back to back
CG doesn't have to manually rotate the purple and gold gear every GC
Guaranteed stuff is always better than RNG. That's why people wanted guaranteed zetas from the Fleet Challenge.
Careful what you ask for
Odds always favor the house.
The Monkeys Paw would come into play.

The zeta thing is different
There was a chance of getting 0 zetas
Here we are guaranteed getting gear, there is no chance of getting 0 purple or gold gear
If you're lucky you can get 10 stun guns from one GC
I do
A small amount is better than nothing, monthly you get a bunch of gear, kyros and finisher pieces
Take it if you can lol
