How to get and equip skydive emotes in Apex Legends
One of the highlights of Apex Legends is the amazing amount of customization potential. There are seemingly endless ways to express yourself on the battlefield, from skins to emotes to holosprays and more. One of the most fun categories of cosmetics in the game are skydive emotes, which can only be activated while your character is flying through the air to the ground.
Skydive emotes are a bit more difficult to obtain than other emotes, and there aren’t as many of them for each legend as there are skins, for example. Still, they’re worth having, whether it’s just for a bit of fun before a game starts or when you’re taking off from a diving board. They’re also great for proving to your teammates that you know your way around a particular Legend. After all, why would you emote them if you don’t care about them?
If you want some of that rush for yourself, here’s how to get and equip Skydive Emotes Apex.
Find skydive emotes
As with most cosmetics, there are a handful of ways to get parachute emotes. It is possible to purchase them through the in-game store. While they won’t always be available, the rotation will sometimes include a Skydive emote or two for specific Legends. They can be purchased individually with Apex Coins or as part of a Legend-specific bundle. Check the “Recommended” section of the shop to see if any are currently available, and don’t despair if you can’t find anything – the shop’s inventory changes fairly frequently.
Some skydive emotes are only available during events. If you’re playing while a collection or themed event is in progress, check the Event Hub tab on the game’s front page to see if emotes are available. With a few exceptions, these can probably only be crafted during the event, so take advantage of their availability.
Finally, Skydive emotes can also be found on the Battle Pass. Here’s where you’ll find most of them: they’re often included as rewards on the Battle Pass premium track during a given season. In order to get these emotes, you must purchase the Premium Battle Pass and upgrade it to the tier that includes the emote. It is granted immediately once you reach that level.
Equip Parachute Emotes
Once you’ve obtained a Skydive emote, equipping it is fairly easy. From the game’s main menu, select the Legends tab at the top of the screen. From there, select the legend with the emote you want to equip. From your screen, select Emote Wheel from the menu at the top, then Skydive Emotes. (If you don’t see the Parachute Emotes button, it means you don’t have any Parachute Emotes for that Legend.)
The Skydive Emotes screen will show you all of the relevant emotes you have for that Legend, along with a short GIF of each. To equip one, all you have to do is right-click on the emote or press the button and then select a place for it in the diagram that appears. If you’ve equipped it correctly, you should see a small orange tick next to your emote of choice.
Once you’re in combat, the game will prompt you with a prompt to use it. Most of the game’s legends have fun skydive emotes, so try them out next time you crash in battle royale.
