But before you start using these emotes, you need to obtain them! Don't stress, though; it's super easy to get them in Fortnite. There are loads of different emotes you can obtain while playing your matches. The simplest ways to get emotes in Fortnite are:

• Through the Battle Pass: This pass features an immense number of levels offering a vast array of unique rewards. Many of these rewards include exclusive emotes, which, besides serving an aesthetic function, showcase your progress in the Battle Pass.


• Through the in-game store: In the store, you can find incredible emotes that you can redeem for V-Bucks. Moreover, the store's content resets every day, allowing you to choose from a vast selection of these emotes.


• Additionally, you can obtain unique emotes during special events organized by Fortnite periodically. These emotes symbolize your presence at the event and hold a collectible value.

Once you've acquired the emotes, the next step is to incorporate them into your Fortnite matches. Navigate to the locker section in the game menu, where you can choose a maximum of 6 emotes to customize your moves. Once selected, these emotes become your designated gestures during matches, adding a touch of individuality to your gameplay.

In the Fortnite game or menu on both PS4 and Xbox, simply press the respective console's D-Pad Down arrow to access Fortnite emotes. This action opens up the emote wheel, allowing you to select any emote using the right analog stick.

In the PC version, press the B key to open the emote wheel and choose any emote using your mouse. Emotes can be used whether you're in-game or navigating the menu.

If you find yourself unable to access the emote menu, it could be due to a conflict with the control key, potentially with other actions like augments. To address this, navigate to the settings, select controls, and modify the control key designated for opening emotes.

It's important to note that if you encounter difficulties using emotes after a victory, it's a normal occurrence. Fortnite has restricted certain emotes, limiting their use exclusively to in-game moments.
