Animal Crossing 2.0 Direct & Update
All Reactions are taught by villagers, and can only be unlocked while you're outside.
While walking around your island, sometimes a villager will come running to you while calling your name (or a nickname, if you have any!).
Approach the villager and press A to talk to them, and they might just teach you a new Reaction.
If it's your first time, they will tell you about Reactions, as well as teach you your first Reaction: Joy.
There are 44 Reactions in the main game, 2 more from the Halloween update, and lastly the 9 from the Winter Update.
Reactions are great for photos or when playing with others, so try getting them all!
It seems like certain types of personalities will teach you specific Reactions.
A member of our Walkthrough Team was missing a Snooty villager on their island and was unable to unlock the Love reaction.
Although after they got a Snooty villager, they were finally able to learn Love from them after befriending them!
Some Reactions, like Love and Showmanship, seem to only be unlocked once you reach a certain friendship level with your villagers.
How to Raise Villager Friendship
After the Ver 1.5 update, you can celebrate Halloween on the month of October.
On Halloween night, after giving Candy to Jack the Pumpkin, he'll teach you the new Halloween Reaction: Haunt.
You can also learn Halloween Reactions from villagers after giving them Candy!
Halloween Event Items and Activities
After doing group stretching fifty times, you'll unlock a series of reactions related to the activity, so be sure to keep up with your daily exercise regimen!
Where to Attend Group Stretching
There are currently 46 reactions you can collect. Talk to your neighbors to get them all!
