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-game for both Male and Female survivors. However, the "Turkey" emote can only be obtained by crafting it with 30 Wishbones in a cooking pot during ARK: Turkey Trial 2.

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
