style=\"font-weight: 400\">Epic Games is looking to combat toxic player behaviour in Fortnite by giving players the option to hide emotes it considers \u2018confrontational\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How this is being implemented is via a new setting as part of V29.30 update, allowing those in the battle royale to toggle between seeing these emotes from anyone to friends or no one. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With online gaming communities known for being quite hostile, the hope is this will create a more friendlier environment for players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u201cSee Confrontational Emotes\u201d setting is now rolling out worldwide, so we\u2019ve laid out the steps to put it into action as well as the emotes that will be hidden as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to hide \u2018confrontational emotes\u2019 in Fortnite
