You don't need to have the Salute emote, simply head up to the pants and interact with it - default key "F" - and you will complete the challenge.

Once you have done that you will be able to find the Deadpool X-Force variant skin in your locker.

Deadpool and the X-Force squad will join a number of other superhero skins already in the game including Harley Quinn and Batman.
