Emotes

Emotes are cosmetic items available in Fortnite. They enable the player to perform a short action, which involves the player character moving to act it out. Emotes were first introduced in Save The World, but massively expanded upon with the release of Battle Royale.

Description
Emotes are short actions which are performed by the player character. Emotes involve the player character acting out one of several actions, such as a Dance, an Emotion, a Greeting or other movements. Emotes offer no in game advantage, and often disadvantage players with limited movement capabilities. Emotes can be purchased in the Item Shop using V-Bucks, unlocked in the Battle Pass or obtained via various in game and outside of the game promotions.

Emotes are categorised into several types:


 * Standard: The player character will perform an action and be unable to move
 * Traversal: The player will be able to move slowly forwards whilst performing the action.
 * Built In: The emote is exclusive to an outfit or vehicle, this emote can be of any type (Traversal, Standard etc.)
 * Two Player: Two players can take part in the emote at the same time, sometimes performing an unique function by doing so.
