Players can enter System Commands into the chat console to execute certain actions. The chat console can be brought up in-game by pressing Enter (or players can simply start typing with the slash character) or, while on the main lobby, on the Chat's System tab.
Open the chat window with the key you have configured for it. By default, it is Enter.
Write the command you want to use.
Press the Enter key to activate it.
Note: Players can no longer enter most of the System Commands as of August 8, 2019. The commands can still be executed by binding them to keys in the \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Paladins\ChaosGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini file. On the following example the command for a screenshot (shot) was assigned to the F1 key on the keyboard:
+Bindings=(Name="F1", Command="OnRelease shot")
