How to Emote in The First Descendant

First Descendant has a fun and unique emote system that you can use when you’re playing with other players online and are too tired to communicate via typing or the in-game voice channel. Sending a heartfelt greeting or a point can already convey a lot to other players, and here’s how you can use emotes in First Descendant.

How to use emotes in The First Descendant

To use an emote, press L or the left directional pad to open the emote wheel. There are some default emotes and sprays here; you can only have eight equipped at a time. Pressing L is a little difficult because it’s far from your typical keystroke, especially for an FPS game, so you can adjust that in the options. Maybe some F1 or F2 keys should do the trick.

Players are usually focused on completing objectives or missions, but if you happen to enjoy playing with someone who is on a mission, you can send them a greeting emote and they may stop and emote back to you. You can approach them and invite them to a party! It gets a lot easier when you’re playing with other players.

To customize your emotes, open the menu screen (where your inventory, battle pass, and store are located) and go to the Customize tab. Find the Emotes section and select it. You’ll see all of your unlocked emotes and sprays here.

If you have a lot, you can use the filtering system to find only sprays or emotes. Click on one of the sections of the emote wheel and select the specific emote or spray you want to apply to that feature. The battle pass has several unlockable emotes. They also get you some Caliber and other skins. You also get some boosts, which makes it worth it if you can complete the battle pass. Some players might even consider these pay-to-win mechanics, but it’s pretty tame, especially for a free-to-play game.
