Emotes

The emote wheel lets your character sit down, wave, cheer and more during a match.

Using the wheel

1. Hold G. It can be rebound in Settings > Controls > Interface, as Emote Wheel (hold).
2. While the wheel is open your view holds still. Move the mouse toward an emote to pick it.
3. Let go of the key to play it. Letting go with the pointer still in the middle plays nothing.

While you emote

• You can emote only while you are alive, standing on the ground and not stunned.
• The weapon in your hand goes onto your body, where you carry it when you are not holding it, and comes back to your hand when the emote ends.
• Your character stays put, and your view swings out to a third-person camera so you can watch. Move the mouse to look around your character. The view returns to first person afterwards.
• A sit lasts until you move, jump, fire or switch weapons, and then your character stands up. A key you were already holding when the emote started counts only once you let go of it and press it again.
• Being knocked off your feet or stunned ends any emote at once.
• Everyone in the match sees your emotes, and so do replays and the kill cam.
• How an emote looks depends on your class's animation set, masculine or feminine.
