As a lower lvl player, I can understand those who didn't like the ultimate challenge as much as the higher lvl did. Without the double rewards, the TG, supplies, XP, gear/crates and, yes, stars too (where is the balance if a 50lvl player start the challenge with virtually the same increased difficulty as a 65lvl?) will be missed... a lot! Specially for those who already play scavenge missions more than they would... less grind, right... that's always a awesome thing...
The supplies thing would have a solution: if maxed, then no supplies instead of no supplies starting at level X no matter if you are maxed or not.
But you still forget something: XP scavenge missions have a base amount of XP that you get which challenge missions don't have. So yes, you pay more - but you also get more.
They didnt offer a solution to lost supplies, thats the problem
Im level 65, need 2M to upgrade the workshop plus whatever I need for the car and the storage to be maxed. I use 4 full tanks a day and its still not enough, I barely play on Mon and Tue because scavenging gets boring after so many times and I keep getting useless gear and components anyway
During that challenge I got enough xp to upgrade 3 survivors to 23, thanks to the lack of increased chance of legendary gear in my game
I liked the extra radios we got, i made a couple of calls that got me another pink survivor

@Tapatio75 The solution is to replay the challenge missions at whatever level you like so that you can get those supplies. Just because it says you can advance to the next difficulty level doesn't mean that you have to do it.
I know the scavenge rewards cost 1-2 gas more than those lower challenge maps, but you're getting way more supplies for that extra gas. There's the flat supply reward you get just from completing the mission, the post-mission crates have a higher chance of receiving supply rewards, and since the scavenge maps are at your level (or higher with hard mode) you're getting a higher amount of supplies from each post-mission crate when compared to the lower level challenge maps that you can get them from. So yeah, it costs more gas but you can net way more than from the challenge. Use Glenn or Governor for even more supplies from scavenging.
I don't get it, really... Scavenging is boring, I agree. But so is level 20 to at least 23 of the challenge. Biggest difference is that I am not forced to scavenge (or repeat challenge maps for that matter) but I am forced to grind through boring map after boring map until I get to the meat of the challenge. At that point, my time runs out and I am already burned out.
Use the saved gas to play normal distance. Should give you around 600k in supplies, that is more than the challenge could ever give you.
Or ask NG for another solution like the kill switch at max or to let players decide whether they want to use the round passes or not.
But to dismiss ultimate challenge because of a few thousand supplies is very short sighted...

More time to scavenge? 4 gas beats 6 gas including the rare gear we get instead of supplies most of the time
