Fortnite has recently released update v29.30, which includes a new feature designed to filter out aggressive emotes. With this update, players can choose not to see specific emotes such as “Laugh It Up,” “Take the L,” “Whipcrack,” and “Make it Plantain.” These emotes will be displayed as still images without any dancing or music. Players can customize this setting to only show these emotes if performed by friends or hide them completely.
This update aims to address the controversy surrounding a group of four emotes that have caused concern among players. Emotes like “Laugh It Up” and “Take the L” are often used after eliminating opponents or winning matches, leading many players to view them as toxic and confrontational. The new feature provides players with more control over their interactions within the game and aims to create a more enjoyable gaming experience.
In addition to the emote filtering feature, the update also introduces a new chapter for the Fortnite Festival, featuring content related to music star Billie Eilish. Players can obtain an exclusive Eilish skin from the game’s item shop along with a special style that can only be unlocked through the Festival Pass. The game will also feature music from Eilish’s discography, including popular songs like “Bad Guy,” “Therefore I Am,” “All The Good Girls Go To Hell,” “Happier Than Ever,” and “Oxytocin.”
Overall, these updates aim to enhance the Fortnite gaming experience by providing players with more control over their interactions within the game and introducing exciting new content and collaborations.
