If seeing the news about Grand Theft Auto 6 has gotten you excited to play more GTA, GTA Online is still being updated and is available for you to play. GTA Online has one of the most bustling online communities out there as the game is always being updated since it was released in 2013.
But if you are new to GTA Online, you might be wondering how you can express yourself online. This guide is here to help you show off the emotes the game has provided for you to use.
How To Use Emotes In GTA Online
First things first, emotes are actually not called emotes in GTA Online. In this game, they are called character actions.
Knowing that is pretty important because that will help you set up your actions for GTA Online. The first thing you need to do is set up your actions so you can use them.
First off, you need to go to the interaction menu or go to options in the pause menu. Once you are there, you hit the style menu. Once you do that, go to select action. From there, you can check out the various actions in GTA Online and set one up.
Once you have chosen your action, close out of the menu. Then when you are ready, you can now use your new action. For console/controller players, you push both thumbsticks to do the action. On PC, it is your caps key.
