Block Fortnite's Toxic Emotes Now

Apr 23, 2024 12:39 PM

Epic Games introduces a new feature in Fortnite that allows players to block confrontational or toxic emotes. With the implementation of the 'See Confrontational Emotes' setting, users can prevent selected emotes from being displayed or heard, including the Laugh It Up, Take the L, Whipcrack, and Make It Plantain emotes. The setting is accessible under the 'Social Privacy' menu, and by default, it only shows emotes from friends in the user's group, but can be adjusted to block all toxic emotes entirely. This update aims to improve the game's social environment and comes alongside the news that Billie Eilish has become a playable character in Fortnite.

How do I enable Fortnite's 'See Confrontational Emotes' feature to block toxic emotes?

To enable the feature, go to the 'Social Privacy' menu in Fortnite's settings and toggle the 'See Confrontational Emotes' option. From there, you can choose to block toxic emotes from everyone or just from those outside your friends group.

Fortnite, developed by Epic Games, is widely known for its consistent updates and cultural crossovers, introducing characters and themes from various franchises. The game is a free-to-play battle royale that has grown significantly in content, complexity, and popularity since its release in 2017. Its in-game events and updates like this one reflect the developer's ongoing commitment to the game's vibrant and expansive community.
