Emotes are movements and dances that we can use at any time in Fortnite. Below, we tell you all about them.
Emotes function
Emotes are only cosmetic elements, and do not provide a competitive advantage or disadvantage, nor do they have a function other than to show off our likes and dislikes. Gamers like to have a large collection of them, as well as having those that represent characters from their favorite series and video games.
What are emotes?
There are five types of emote:
- Gesture: Our character performs a specific movement, such as sweeping, jumping backward, or reading a book.
- Dance: With this emote, our character dances to the sound of a song. Sometimes the song may be composed by a famous artist, such as Dua Lipa or Doja Cat.
- Emoticon: Our character shows a small image for a moment.
- Graffiti: Our character paints graffiti on the surface closest to us, whether it is the floor, wall, or object.
- Toy: Our character will play with an object, such as shooting a ball.

How to get emotes
There are several ways to get emotes. Below, you will find a list of them.
- Leveling up. Fortnite rewards us with emotes for reaching certain levels.
- By purchasing the battle pass. If we level up with the purchased battle pass, we can get more free emotes.
- Buying them in the Fortnite store. Keep in mind that this store is updated daily so emotes may disappear at any time.
How to use emotes
We can use the emotes both in the game and on the starting platform. And you can see step-by-step how to do it in our guide on how to dance in Fortnite.
