There is a simple version of how to complete custom training using randomization and a complete version. Both are here, in that order.

People often blame the game when the actual cause is a setting they changed weeks ago. If you are short on time, the first section alone is usually enough. Most of the disagreement online here comes from people describing different versions.

The short answer

Do the straightforward version first; it solves this for most people, and the detailed section exists for when it does not.

The straightforward version

Anything marked optional really is optional, so skip it without guilt. Most advice on this topic assumes you already know half the answer, which is exactly the problem. There is a fast way and a safe way, and they are not the same thing. It helps to know why a step exists, because then you can adapt it when your situation differs slightly.

The difference between a smooth run and a frustrating one usually comes down to preparation, not skill. One clean run beats five rushed ones, both for results and for your patience. Nothing below requires mods, paid tools or an account on some sketchy site.

Why it works

Give the first attempt an honest try before deciding the method does not work. Written notes beat memory when you come back to this in a month. Doing this properly once is faster than doing it approximately three times.

  • Test one change at a time instead of five at once.
  • Write down what you changed, so you can undo it if the result gets worse.
  • Check the version you are running before following any step-by-step advice.
  • Back up your save if the game gives you the option.
  • Keep a spare loadout for the attempts that go badly.

Getting a better result

Most advice on this topic assumes you already know half the answer, which is exactly the problem. There is a fast way and a safe way, and they are not the same thing. If something here stops matching what you see on screen, the game has probably changed a value in an update. Understanding the reason behind a step lets you adapt it when your situation differs.

Small details matter more than they should here, so read the order of steps carefully. Doing this properly once is faster than doing it approximately three times. Anything marked optional really is optional, so skip it without guilt.

Mistakes worth avoiding

  • Following a guide written for an older version and assuming nothing moved.
  • Changing several settings at once, then having no idea which one helped.
  • Skipping the preparation step because it looks boring, then repeating the hard part four times.

Frequently asked questions

Does this apply to every version?

The steps target the current release. Older versions usually behave the same way, though menus may sit in different places.

Does this still work after the latest update?

It did at the time of writing. If a step no longer matches, the underlying idea normally still applies even when a menu has moved.

Is there an easier way?

Often, but the easy route tends to be less reliable. The method above trades a couple of extra minutes for a result that works the first time.

How to Complete Custom Training Using Randomization is not complicated once the order of operations is clear, and now it is.
