Bust a Move on the Battlefield: A Totally Not Serious Guide to Emoting in Fortnite (Switch Edition)
Ah, the emote. The cornerstone of any victory royale celebration, the ultimate expression of frustration after a cheap shot, and the perfect way to confuse your teammates (because who knew you had a flamenco dancer emote equipped?). But you, brave Switch warrior, might be wondering – how on Earth do I unleash my inner boogie machine in this game? Fear not, fellow fort-fanatic, for this guide is here to turn you from emote-novice to emote-extraordinaire.
Step 1: Ditch the Pickaxe and Channel Your Inner Dancer (Unless You Wanna Do the Pickaxe Emote, That Works Too)
First things first, you gotta be in the game. Emoting in the lobby is a surefire way to confuse everyone (including yourself). So, drop into that Battle Bus, loot up like a champ, and get ready to dominate... or emote your way to glorious defeat. That's the beauty of Fortnite, really.
Step 2: The Magical Downward Thrust (Yes, That's What We're Calling It)
Look at your controller, that beautiful piece of plastic that's about to turn you into a dance machine. Now, focus on the down arrow on the D-pad. That's it, the one that points directly towards the floor, where all your enemies will be groveling after you win that sweet Victory Royale (with some fancy emoting, of course). Gently (no pickaxe-wielding rage here) press it once.
Voila! A dazzling emote wheel appears, showcasing six of your finest moves. We're talking flailing chickens, celebratory horns, and maybe even the floss (because hey, classics never die).
Step 3: Operation: Show Off Those Fancy Moves
Now comes the fun part. Here's where you unleash your inner superstar and pick the perfect emote. You can:
- Use the right analog stick to navigate the wheel of flamboyant self-expression.
- Press A to activate your chosen emote and stun the world (or at least your teammates) with your dazzling moves.
Pro-Tip: Feeling impatient? A quick double tap of that down arrow will unleash the emote you used last. So if you're rocking a victory dance that makes your enemies cry, this little trick can keep the party going.
Remember: Emotes are a great way to taunt your foes, celebrate victories, or just have some fun. So don't be shy! Boogie down, crank that Soulja Boy, or whip out your best floss. The battlefield is your stage, and the emote wheel is your spotlight!
With these emote-tastic steps mastered, you'll be the most expressive warrior on the island. Now go forth and emote with reckless abandon! Just maybe don't emote while running from the storm... that usually doesn't end well.
