In Lethal Company, not everyone likes to use a microphone or even has one, but they still might want to interact with their teammates. That’s where emotes can be really helpful. They also make the game more fun and less scary by adding some funny and useful moves and gestures.

All emotes in Lethal Company

In Lethal Company, there are two cool emotes you can use:

  • A dance emote
    • Your character does an odd but charming, little dance
  • A point emote
    • Your character points at whatever you’re facing. This is super useful if you’re not talking with other players on the microphone.

The dance emote is set to the number one key on your keyboard, and the point emote is on the number two key. Just press these keys, and your character will do the emote.

Right now, you can’t change these key settings. But don’t worry, there might be an update later that lets you change them and use other keys for different actions.

When should you emote?

Dancing in Lethal Company is mostly for fun. It can make your friends laugh or help everyone feel better after scary moments, like when the Ghost Girl chases someone. But pointing is super useful a lot of the time. You can use it to show teammates where any enemies are or point out important things they should see.

Tip:

You can even use the dance emote when you’re holding something large with both of your character’s hands. It isn’t helpful, necessarily, but it’s a great way to get a chuckle out of your friends as your character dances with a large object in their hands.

Will there be more emotes in a later update?

There might be new emotes coming to Lethal Company in a future update. The developers haven’t confirmed or denied this yet, but since communication and working together are a big part of the game, and there are only two emotes right now, it makes sense for them to add more later.

So, that’s all about emotes in Lethal Company. They might not be a big part of the game, but they’re still nice to have. Emotes are common in survival games. They can be really helpful when you least expect it.

Adding more emotes with mods

Of course, if you don’t want to wait for developer Zeekerss to add more official mods to Lethal Company, you can always head to Thunderstore to download and install the More Emotes mod. These will definitely allow you to be more expressive, but they might not be the most helpful for communicating pertinent game information to your crewmates. Then again, we’re sure that clapping, hitting the Griddy, or Twerking definitely has its place within Lethal Company.
