How to Emote on Fortnite on PC Without Emote Wheel
1. Assign Emotes to Slots
In the Locker tab, you can assign specific emotes to slots for quick access. These are often referred to as your “Favorite” emotes.
2. Use Hotkeys for Quick Emotes
You can use the number keys (1, 2, 3, etc.) to quickly perform one of your assigned emotes. The exact keys and number of assignable slots may vary, so check your game settings for the correct hotkeys.

How to Emote in Fortnite on PS5
1. Accessing the Emote Wheel:
During a game, press the Down Arrow on the D-pad of your PS5 controller. This will bring up the emote wheel, which displays a selection of emotes that you have equipped.
2. Selecting an Emote:
Use the right analog stick to highlight the emote you want to use. The emote wheel is divided into sections, each corresponding to a direction on the stick.

If you want to use an emote quickly without opening the emote wheel, you can press any of the directional buttons on the D-pad (Up, Left, Right) if you have emotes assigned to those buttons. This will perform the emote assigned to that direction immediately.
5. Customizing Your Emote Wheel:
To change which emotes are in your emote wheel, you can go to the Locker tab in the main menu before starting a game. Here, you can customize your emote wheel by assigning different emotes to different slots.

From there, you can scroll through all your emotes and select the one you want to use.
