    While using emotes is simple, you might want to personalize which emotes you bring into the field. To change your equipped emote:

    1. Visit the Armory: Head to your ship and find the Armory, located on the left side as you approach the War Table room.
    2. Access the Character Tab: Within the Armory menu, select the “Character” tab.
    3. Choose Your Emote: Look for the “Emote” option, placed under the “Voice Pack” section. Here, you can select and equip any of your unlocked emotes.

    This system allows you to customize your non-verbal communication arsenal, tailoring your character’s expressions to fit your personality or the team’s needs.

    How to unlock more emotes in Helldivers 2

    Helldivers 2 starts you off with a basic set of emotes, but the fun doesn’t stop there. To expand your collection, you’ll need to unlock additional emotes. This can be done in two ways:

    • Earning Medals: Complete daily Personal Order Challenges to earn medals, the game’s currency for unlocking new content.
    • Helldivers Mobilize Warbond: Participate in missions to earn Medals, which can then be spent on the Helldivers Mobilize Warbond reward passes. These passes offer a variety of emotes at different medal costs.

    The Acquisition Center on your ship serves as the marketplace for new emotes. Located across from the Armory, this is where you can spend your hard-earned medals to purchase new gestures of victory, camaraderie, and fun.
