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 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 Prime Meat Jerky in a cooking pot during ARK: Summer Bash 2019.
