The First Descendant - How to Emote

Pressing the L key or the Left D-Pad allows you to emote and send emotes to the chatbox in The First Descendant. Check out our guide below to learn how to emote and equip emotes, as well as where and how to get emotes in the game!

How to Emote

Press L or the Left D-Pad

The First Descendant - Emote Wheel

First, open the emote wheel by pressing L if you're playing on PC. This opens a ring menu featuring all the emotes you currently have.

For console players, you can access the emote wheel by pressing Left D-Pad.

Choose an Emote to Use

Once the wheel is open, hover over the emote you want to use and press confirm to use it! Your Descendant will then start acting out the emote immediately after selecting it.

Additionally, the emote will also be sent to the chatbox if you have one active!

How to Get Emotes

Beta Test Rewards

The First Descendant - Send Love Emote

You can get the Send Love emote if you participated in the Beta Testing period of The First Descendant. Initially, this emote was supposed to be exclusive to Beta participants, but it was later released to all players as a freebie.

Beta Test Rewards

Battle Pass

The First Descendant - Battle Pass Emote

You can also get a variety of emotes from the Battle Pass. However, most of the emotes require a premium upgrade to unlock. If you want to get these emotes, make sure to upgrade your regular pass to premium, but keep in mind that this will require real money!

If you're not willing to pay, you can still get free emotes eventually, such as the Finger Frame emote in the pre-season battle pass.
