How to emote in The First Descendant

Words aren’t enough to express how we feel in The First Descendant. Sometimes, we have to break out the conga drums and let actions speak for themselves while random passersby stare at us. If you also feel the same way, you might be looking to emote in The First Descendant.

Emotes are an excellent way to add character to games and players use them in various ways. Some emotes could be considered toxic while others can become community favorites due to their animations.

Here’s how to emote in The First Descendant.

How to use emotes in The First Descendant

To use emotes in The First Descendant, you need to press the Ring button (the “L” key by default on PC and the D-pad on the controller). This brings out the Emote Ring. From there, simply select the emote you want to use, and your character will perform it.

If you haven’t customized your emote wheel in The First Descendant yet, you’ll see three default emotes in the interface: sit down, wave and say “no.”

How to change emotes in The First Descendant

To equip new emotes to the emote wheel in The First Descendant:

• open your Equipment screen (the “I” key by default)
• Select the Customize category.
• From there, choose the Emotes option (the bottom right one).

Completing the steps above takes you to a screen with your emote Ring. Now, you can equip and unequip any emote of your choosing. Ensure to have an emote ready for all types of interactions in the game, even a victory emote to use after you beat Pyromaniac in The First Descendant.

How to rebind the emote key in The First Descendant

If you want to rebind the emote key in The First Descendant:

• Press the Esc key to open the Game Menu and select Options.
• From there, select Keyboard & Mouse (it’s the third option from the left).
• Scroll down through the keys until you find “Ring Menu.”

Press and hold the “R” key on while the Ring Menu button is selected to change it to a different key. I recommend “T,” “Y,” or one of the number keys.

How to get new emotes in The First Descendant

The primary method to get new emotes in The First Descendant is by completing specific quests in various areas. Another way to obtain emotes is through the game’s battle pass system. As you progress through tiers, you’ll unlock both free and premium emotes. However, to access the premium emotes, you’ll need to spend Caliber, the game’s premium currency.

You should also keep an eye on The First Descendant coupon codes as some of the free rewards attached to them can include emotes. These gift code rewards generally come with in-game resources, but the developers may also attach cosmetic items to them, especially during events.
