The Round Settings device is used for any round-based game that has customized gameplay within specific rounds. It generally defines what happens to the player’s inventory and rewards in each round. An example of a game mode that uses Round Settings extensively is Search and Destroy.

Channels
When one device needs to "talk" to another device, it does so by transmitting a signal on a specific channel. The receiving device needs to be set up to receive the signal on the same channel.
A channel is identified by a number, and channel numbers are customized for a device under the option that uses the channel. Most devices will also pass the identity of the player who triggered the device with the signal.
This device has receivers that perform a variety of functions when receiving a signal over a channel. Also, this device can transmit signals when certain conditions are met.
Receivers
Receivers listen for a channel and perform an action when they hear any device (including themselves) send a signal on that channel.

|---|---|---|
| Enable When Receiving From | No Channel, Pick a channel | Enables the device when it receives a signal on the selected channel. |
| Disable When Receiving From | No Channel, Pick a channel | Disables the device when it receives a signal on the selected channel. |
| Disable End Round Conditions When Receiving From | No Channel, Pick a channel | Disable all end-round conditions when the device receives a signal on the selected channel. The round must be ended through a receiving a signal on a channel signal as defined in the End Round When Receiving From option. |
| End Round When Receiving From | No Channel, Pick a channel | Ends the round. If triggered by a player, that player's team is set as the winner of the round. |
| Disable Matchmaking When Receiving From | No Channel, Pick a channel | Disables the ability for matchmaking to spawn players into the island, or the ability to join in-progress games that have matchmaking.
