Fortnite: Battle Royale – How to emote (PC, PS4, Xbox One)
Express yourself.
Our how to emote in Fortnite: Battle Royale page will help you dance and express yourself in-game on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Don’t get us wrong, outlasting the competition and fighting for supremacy should always be your ultimate objective in Fortnite: Battle Royale, but sometimes you just need to bust out a move and add some flair to your firefights.
Dancing in front of a downed enemy is a perfect way to assert your dominance, or you can taunt an enemy over in the distance before landing that crisp and deadly headshot. There are plenty of other options to play with too. You can wave to try and make friends, or hop onto a holographic rocket and go wild.
Emoting in Fornite: Battle Royale might not seem important at first, but it’s a fantastic way to spice up a game and add some lighthearted fun to an otherwise intense fight to the death.
If you’re new to the game it can difficult to figure out exactly how to emote or dance. Here’s what you need to know about doing both, along with advice on how to expand your emote collection.

How to unlock more emotes
To unlock more emotes in Fortnite: Battle Royale, you’ve got a limited number of options. You can either purchase them using V-Bucks from the Item Shop, or progress your Battle Pass by playing the game and earning EXP.
Both options require shelling out real-world currency, and if you’re OK with that then your best bet would be to purchase the Battle Pass. It’s not too expensive and you’ll earn plenty of unique cosmetic goodies as you play, making it a worthwhile purchase for those of you who can’t get enough of the game.
