Emote

Emotes are gestures and animations which can be performed by Guardians at any time during normal gameplay. Guardians have access to 4 emotes at any given time, one of which may be replaced with others purchased from the Eververse Trading Company.
Emotes are activated by pressing the directional pad, which will cause the guardian to take a series of cosmetic actions for the next few seconds, often accompanied by a text announcement to all players in the area. Some emotes will automatically return the guardian to idly holding their weapon after completion, while others persist until the player takes another action.
==Static Emotes==
There are 3 emotes which are always available. The exact animation used will depend on the race, class, and gender of the guardian using them.
*Greet: Pressing Up will play an emote suitable for greeting other players.
*Sit: Pressing Down will cause the guardian to sit down. They will remain seated until another action is taken.
*Dance: Pressing Right will cause the guardian to begin dancing. They will continue to dance until another action is taken.
==Custom Emotes==
Pressing Left on the directional pad will use the guardian's custom emote slot. Upon creation, new guardians have a pointing gesture available, but other emotes may be equipped in its place. Purchased emotes may be recovered from a console in the Tower if they are deleted.
