Bust a Move (Without Getting Shot): A Guide to Emoting in Fortnite
You've just outplayed your opponent in a legendary build battle, leaving them in a bamboozle-induced rage quit. Victory is yours, but something feels...missing. Maybe a little flair? Enter the emote wheel, your gateway to expressing dominance (or sheer goofiness) on the Fortnite battlefield.
Unleashing Your Inner Superstar: How to Access the Emote Wheel
Here's the nitty-gritty: how to unleash your inner superstar and emote like a champ.
- PC Masters: Channel your inner pianist and slam that B key. An emote wheel of fabulousness will materialize before your very eyes (or monitor).
- Console Commandos: Don't fret, console cowboys! Simply tap down on the D-pad. The emote wheel awaits your triumphant thumb.
Pro Tip: You can also pre-select six of your favorite emotes for the wheel. This ensures you can bust out the perfect move at a moment's notice, whether it's celebrating a victory royale or mourning a fallen teammate (we've all been there).
Emote Etiquette 101: When to Whip, Nae Nae, and When to Chill
Now that you're wielding the emote wheel like a boss, let's talk about deploying it strategically. Because, let's face it, there's a time and a place for a good floss.
- The Victory Royale Dance Party: You won! The world is your oyster! This is prime emote time. Let loose, crank that funky chicken, and assert your dominance. Just be mindful of those victory-hungry snipers...
- The Cautionary Dab: You just eliminated your opponent in an epic duel. A celebratory emote might be tempting, but a quick dab will do the trick. It shows confidence without rubbing it in (too much).
- The Respectful Revive: Your teammate just brought you back from the brink. A thumbs up or a high five emote shows your appreciation. They'll be more likely to revive you next time (hopefully).
- The Universal Greeting: Spotted a fellow player across the map? Don't be shy! A friendly wave or a goofy dance can turn enemies into allies (or at least provide a good laugh).
Remember: Emotes can be your friends or foes. Use them wisely, young padawan.
Emote Pro-Tips: Become an Emote Extraordinaire
Now that you've grasped the emote basics, let's elevate your game to emote mastery.
- **The Emote Bait: Pretend to be AFK (away from keyboard), then hit them with a surprise emote as they come in for the kill. Just be careful, this tactic can backfire spectacularly.
- The Synchronized Squad Shuffle: Nothing says teamwork like a squad all busting out the same emote in unison. Coordinate with your friends and confuse your enemies with your synchronized swag.
- The Emote Taunt: Feeling cocky? Line up a risky emote right in front of your opponent. It's a gamble, but a successful emote taunt can leave your opponent mentally defeated.
Emote responsibly, folks! There's a fine line between hilarious emote play and an emote-induced rage quit. But hey, if you can win a game with nothing but well-timed emotes, more power to you. Now get out there and emote your way to victory!
