Emotes in Overwatch are cosmetic poses that players can perform in the game. All are technically of epic or legendary quality and are obtained via purchase using credits or opening Loot Boxes.
Once equipped in the Hero Gallery, a player may use their emote at any time during the game through use of the Communication Wheel. Each hero has one default emote (Heroic) and a handful of others typically for 250, though there are some exceptions; seasonal event emotes range from 750 to 3000.
D.Va is the only hero with two default emotes; this is because one is for when she is in her mech, and the other is when she is out of her mech.
- Emotes marked with * will remain in their animation until the player inputs other actions to interrupt them.
