Do you like kitting your character in Fortnite out with special moves called emotes? There are several of them available in the Cash Shop, and ones you can earn via the Fortnite Battle Pass, as well. There’s a brand new emote in the store right now in the form of the Squat Kick, which is an Epic emote that finds your character getting low and squat kicking, reminiscent of some sort of Russian dance. It’s weird, but hey, it’s up for grabs if you want to make it yours.
You can see the skin in action thanks to the tweet via Epic Games below, who’s provided a lovely animation of how the emote looks in action. Pretty cool, right? Heya, heya, heya indeed.

This is actually the first of one of several emotes coming to the game, as Epic Games tends to do with every Fortnite patch that makes its way live. Update v3.6 just came out earlier this week and addd a new backpack skin, axe skin, as well as an emote. These are all excellent ways to customize your favorite character and give him or her a look that’s totally unique, but you have to purchase the ones that you really like. It’s not that big of a deal if you’ve got some extra pocket cash laying around, but make sure you don’t spend all your money on things that don’t really matter.
What does matter in Fortnite if not emotes or showing others how you feel in-game? Obviously, whatever the heck is going on with Season 4 and the appearance of the meteors now crashing into the ground around the map. With the end of the month rapidly approaching, it’s almost time to see what Season 4 will bring with it — undoubtedly new emotes, but there looks like some sort of superhero-themed content could be coming down the line as well. What’s going to end up happening? We don’t know, but we sure can’t wait to find out.
In the meantime, hey! Emotes. Go get you some.
