Non-Supported Modes

Non-Supported Modes are defined as modes that do not include a "Enable Perks" setting or the setting does absolutely nothing when enabled.

Forcing Perks

To force Perks for Non-Supported Modes, the "Enable Perks" setting must be manually written in the General mode settings:

settings
{
    modes
    {

        Stadium

        General 
        { 
            Enable Perks: On
        }
    }
}

Perk Functionality

Forcing Perks in a Non-Supported Mode does not guarantee that they will work properly. Below is a list of modes that have been checked for perk functionality:

Mirrorwatch	✅Full
Lúcioball	✅Full	Perk progress cannot be gained normally as the mode does not allow players to damage/heal.
Junkenstein's Revenge	✅Full
