Emotes

Emotes are a way to communicate by an action, not directly saying something. For example, your character can nod his head yes instead of physically typing or saying "yes."

There are currently 11 Emotes in the base game (these shown below plus Clap!) and 27 emotes in-game for both Male and Female survivors. However, the "Flex" emote can only be obtained by crafting it with 100  Prime Meat Jerky in a cooking pot since ARK: Summer Bash 2019. In addition, since v344.3 you can buy them in the  HLN-A Hexagon Exchange option.

 Mini-HLNA Skin will show an icon on its screen eye whenever the survivor does an emote.

How to use an Emote

Tap one of the emote keys, by default theses are bound to [ (Left Bracket) and ] (Right Bracket).

To display the Emote Wheel press and hold one of the emote keys and the wheel will pop up.

How to Rebind an Emote

While the emote wheel is displayed hover over an emote and press either [ or ].
