Emotes allow a Warframe to perform visible actions using their body for purposes of communication. They can be accessed and activated through the ingame Gear menu (default Q ). While players can only equip 10 different emotes at a time, emotes can be customized in the Gear menu, allowing for different combinations of desired emotes to be used in a mission. Emotes are purely visual, and have no other effect in gameplay.
List of known Gestures
The following are the known list of actions that a Warframe can perform using the Emotes feature:
Apart from these emotes, Warframes can also perform Nartas, which are longer and more complex movement routines that are essentially Katas.
In update 17.5, a Handshake emote was added. There are 7 in total, one for each Syndicate, and one neutral.
Notes
- Emotes can only be cancelled by either pausing and resuming the game, or using another emote.
- Longer emotes such as Meditate or Nartas can prevent knockdown effects.
Trivia
- Emotes were tested on the Vesper Relay Test Hub on Venus in Update 15.5.3 , and formally introduced to the game in Update 15.5.7.
- Emotes can be used during Archwing missions.
