Emotes are cosmetic actions players can activate by hitting the d-pad buttons on the controller.
Equipping Emotes: After the release of The Taken King and start of Year 2, players can change and equip new emotes from their Inventory menu. Players can only have 1 emote equipped at a time. They can activate the emote by pressing the left arrow on dpad (default is pointing).
First new emotes are awarded to players who have purchased the Collector's Edition of TTK. 3 new class specific dance Emotes are given to the players.
After October 13, 2015, players can purchase 18 new emotes from Tess for Silver.
