Best Fortnite emotes
Right next to skins as one helluva way to customize your character, we have Fortnite’s emotes – a library of dances, taunts, and flashy moves so extensive, you could lose days exploring every one.
Some say emotes are the best way to express yourself on the battlefield. Others say the emote is your deadliest weapon… and it’s hard to argue. After all, what’s more satisfying than dancing over a defeated enemy (or striking a smug pose) before you swipe their loot?
But how do you unlock them? And with so many to choose from, including emotes based on everything from themed crossover events to viral TikTok dances, how do you know which are worth your time or hard-won V-Bucks?
That’s what we’re here to explore, in this hench and handy resource on Fortnite’s emotes.
How do you get emotes in Fortnite?
Getting emotes is easy enough – hop to the shop and spend some V-Bucks, or earn them from the Battle Pass.
Yes, that means some of the most popular emotes are also super rare. If you get a chance to grab any of the best emotes in Fortnite for yourself, don’t even hesitate. Seriously. Some appear regularly, others haven’t been seen since 2018.
You snooze, you lose.
How many emotes are in Fortnite?
