Fortnite Introduces New Setting to Limit ‘Confrontational’ Emotes

Fortnite’s Focus on Family-Friendly Gaming Continues

In an ongoing effort to make Fortnite more family-friendly, Epic Games has announced a new setting that will allow players to limit the visibility of certain emotes. This move comes as part of a broader partnership with LEGO, which has been in effect since late 2023.

Reducing Confrontation in Gameplay

The new setting, titled ‘Confrontational Emotes,’ aims to dial back on the potential for confrontational behavior within the game. Emotes like ‘Laugh It Up,’ ‘Take the L,’ ‘Whipcrack,’ and ‘Make It Plantain’ will be affected by this change.

Community Reaction

The Fortnite community has expressed mixed reactions to the upcoming update. Some players have praised the move, while others have expressed concerns that it may make the game too ‘soft.’

Customization Options

The ‘Confrontational Emotes’ setting provides players with three toggle options:

never

,

from friends in party

, and

from anyone

. This allows players to customize their experience based on their preferences.

Finding the Setting

Once the update goes live, players can find the ‘Confrontational Emotes’ setting in the social privacy settings menu. It is important to note that this setting does not prevent players from using any emotes; it simply limits their visibility to others based on the selected option.
