How to Unlock Reactions

Learn from Villagers

ACNH - How to Unlock Reactions - Use Reactions
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 55 Reactions in Total

ACNH - Reaction List First Page

Reactions are great for photos or when playing with others, so try getting them all!

Reactions Depend on Villager Personality

It seems like certain types of personalities will teach you specific Reactions.

Friendship Might Also Play a Role

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.

Different villager personality types teach you different reactions. Also isn't there new reactions from the DLC and as a reward for doing ground stretching 50 times?
