What separates a new GTA Online player from one with at least a dozen hours of gameplay behind them? Lack of cool property and low standard of course. But there is also a less visible part of the game that newbies miss – gestures. So, in this guide, we’ll show you how emotions work in multiplayer mode and how to use them.
This information will be very useful for you if you want to play on RP-servers or arrange a small role-playing session with friends.
What emotions are there in GTA Online and how they work
Gestures can be used before and after races and during some game modes. Also, they can be safely used in “free mode” at any time, that is, outside of any activities. In addition, all these actions are available in Director Mode. It should be remembered that the virtual actor cannot perform paired gestures.
Note. gestures cannot be shown when you are in a boat or using air travel. If you are driving, then a limited arsenal of emotions is available to you. Cyclists can only show their middle finger.
By default, there were only 11 available gestures in GTA Online. With the updates, there are many more of them, and now there are over 50 emotes in the game. An impressive list – from banal gestures with fingers and hands to dancing.
How to show emotions in GTA Online
All of these features in the game are implemented through the interaction menu. How to open the interaction menu on each platform:
- PC – press the M key ;
- PS3 – press the Selec t button ;
- PS4 – hold the touchpad ;
- Xbox 360 – hold the Back button ;
- Xbox One – Hold the Select button .
What to do next:
- When you get to the menu, select the “Style” option .
- Then go to “Action”. Choose an emotion.
Your character will play the animation you choose from the menu if you press Enter.
In addition, the emote that you select before exiting the menu will be used as a “favorite gesture”, that is, it can be used at any time without going into the interaction menu.
To activate this gesture:
- in the PC version – press Caps Lock;
- on consoles – press the sticks at the same time .
