How to Emote in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals is an extraordinarily fun, third-person shooter based on the famous comic book franchise. It harbours a lot of parallels to other shooting games like Overwatch 2 and Valorant, but it stands out on its own merit with its unique character pool. Who doesn’t want to play as Spiderman and deliver an almighty kick to the face or charge into a group of enemies as Captain America?

Most shooting games have emotes you can perform, and Marvel Rivals is no different, so we’ll give you a quick breakdown of everything you need to know to perform an emote in a match.

How Do I Equip An Emote in Marvel Rivals?

Equipping an emote onto a superhero is a very quick process when you know how. From the home screen, head to the Heroes tab. Pick the hero you wish to equip the emote for from the list of characters. Head to the cosmetic tab on the character’s profile and select emotes. You should now be presented with all the possible emotes you can equip for the character. At the time of writing, there is not the biggest list of emotes available, but assuming the game continues to cultivate a strong fan base, this is bound to be expanded in the future.

How Do I Use An Emote In Marvel Rivals?

You can perform an emote at any point in a match. If you are playing Marvel Rivals on PC, hold the T key, which will bring up a shortcut wheel with emotes and sprays equipped onto the character. From here, simply select the emote you wish to perform, and the hero will then execute this action. To bring up the shortcut wheel for console players, you will want to press the left direction arrow on the D-pad. To cancel the emote, press any button.

To customize the key/button that brings up the shortcut wheel, go to the settings on the game’s home screen and click on the keyboard/controller tab. Then, go to the subsection listed as communication and scroll to the bottom, where you can map the customizable wheel, which allows you to perform emotes and sprays.

Marvel Rivals is available for the PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
