  3. Save And Close Settings
  4. Load into any Building-Enabled experience (Could be an island or even Battle Royale)

  8. Enter Any Rift
  9. Press ESC and then “Start Game”
  10. When round has started press ESC and press the “Debug Commands” button

Expected Result

Observed Result

Debug Keybinds take priority over normal keybinds even in places where no Debug Commands are available for the player
