Types of Emotes

Group Emotes

Group Emotes were introduced in Season 3.5, where 2 players active the Emote and it has a unique effect involving both characters.

Universal Emotes

Universal Emotes were introduced in Season 4.5, where by unlocking the emote, it becomes available for every hero who is able to use it.

Interactive Emotes

Interactive Emotes were introduced in Season 5.0 to coincide with the release of Times Square. This allows players to join in with other players using an emote (as the same hero) by pressing T / D-Pad Rightwhile looking at a player using an interactive emote. This will sync up the emote animation and it does not require the joining players to own the emote. This feature was retroactively added to some dancing emotes and can be identified by emotes with a Interactive Emote Icon icon in the bottom right corner. See Category:Interactive Emotes for the list of emotes.

Traversal Emotes

Traversal Emotes were introduced in Season 5.5. These emotes allow players to move while using the emote when in Times Square, Practice Range, Doom Match, or Conquest. These emotes can be identified by a Traversal Emote Icon icon in the bottom right corner.

Costume-Locked Emotes

Costume-Locked Emote Example

Costume-Locked Emotes are emotes which can only be used while a certain costume is equipped. Typically, due to a model change with the costume, the emote would not work correctly with other costumes. These can be identified by the Costume-Locked Emote icon with the costume name above the Acquire button (or how to obtain the emote if it is not from the store).

Currently, there are only a few Costume-exclusive Emotes. These include:

Accessory Emotes

Accessory Emotes were introduced in Season 7.5, which are emotes which can only be used while a certain Accessory is equipped. These emotes can be identified by a Traversal Emote Icon icon in the bottom right corner.

Costume-Specific Effects

Some emotes have additional effects which only apply when using a certain Costume. Unlike Costume-Locked Emotes, these emotes can be used with any costume.
