15. Groove Jam

To start our list, we have the Groove Jam emote, which was released back in the Season 4 Chapter 1 Battle Pass. I feel it's the best top tier emote from any Battle Pass. With a fun, goofy, disco vibe to it, you will be grooving anywhere. It can be on the streets, in a house, or even at the club!

How To Get This Emote: This belonged to the Season 4 Battle Pass. You can't purchase it unless you were lucky enough to get it at an early point in the game!

14. Eagle

The "Eagle" is strictly on the Top 15 list of best emotes because it has to be one of the silliest emotes to be in the game. The Eagle will have you looking like a fool while flapping your arms up and down while having your upper body viciously moving up and down at the same time. This emote was introduced back in June of 2018 and has appeared within the shop 18 times. If you're into goofy dances and new moves, get this one is the perfect and funny fit for your character to be rocking in.

13. True Heart

True Heart comes with true love. The True Heart emote gives a sparkly dance with some love added to it, ending out the dance with a glitter heart that your character makes. It's a sweet and cute "Powerpuff" girl type of dance, look and sound to it. This dance was introduced to Fortnite back on July 7th, 2018, and has been a lot of people's favorites for a different type of look. So if you want to be sparkly and have a little fun dancing and being cute on your opponents, this is a great choice!

12. Hype

The emotes name says everything about it. Get more lit and dance like crazy with your friends more than anything else. "Hype" was based on the shoot dance from the Musical Artist "Blocboy JB" who made this a trending dance move for people. If you like to hit a fun dance and show people what's up, it's the one for you because it'll leave your opponents in anger. The "Shoot" was brought to the game way back in the Season 4 Battle Pass!

11. Pure Salt

Pure Salt was an OG emote, and if you've been around since the beginning, you will know of this one! If not, this skin was introduced back in Chapter 1, Season 2. This emote gives the perfect flavor with a little salt. Once you've killed your opponents, there's nothing more triggering then adding some salt, and this emote does just that. While your character grabs some salt and sprinkles it on their dead body, this will make other players salty!
