How to emote in Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 has made the transition from a top-down shooter to a 3rd person shooter, so knowing how to emote is all the more important now that you can see your character.
Emoting can be a great way to communicate with your teammates, which you’re going to need to do to succeed in the game. There are few things as satisfying as giving your pal a little clap after they’ve taken down a Charger - although I normally use these as sarcastically as possible for added comedic effect.
