Top 5 Rarest Emotes in Fortnite (2024)

Over the years, Fortnite’s Battle Royale has introduced tons of skins and items, which have proven to be a significant force behind playing for some people. Even if you’ve successfully managed to get your hands on all the outfits you want, emotes can enhance all skins in the game. These little dances and other actions in the Battle Royale have a life of their own. 

Between emotes from old battle passes, one that has led to lawsuits, and some others that basically never came back, here’s a list of the top 5 rarest Emotes in Fortnite. 

Rarest Emotes in Fortnite 

5. Headbanger

The headbanger was first released in the game on 27th October 2018, and so far, it has appeared 39 times. The emote made a comeback recently, but it’s rare because it’s tied to Travis Scott’s in-game concert, which has only happened once. The concert was a huge hit among the fans, and players have been begging Epic Games to bring back Travis Scot for another round of dance and music.

4. Welcome

Welcome is one of the most classic emotes in the game, which was introduced in Fortnite in 2019. The emote was only available to purchase for two days and made its appearance thrice before Epic removed it from the Item Shop. To get this emote, players had to purchase it in-shop for 100 V-Bucks, a relatively affordable price.

3. Kiss The Cup 

Kiss the Cup is a legendary Fortnite emote that only appeared in the game’s shop for a limited time. It was only available to purchase for a day before being removed. It’s basically impossible to get your hands on this emote. It was released to commemorate the Fortnite World Cup in 2019 and has never returned since. It’s a unique emote, which makes many players hope it would return to the item shop, but it’s highly unlikely.

2. Hot Marat

Hot Marat is one of the emotes in the game, which has only appeared twice since its introduction way back in 2018. Only a few players managed to purchase Hot Marat, which has made it one of the most sought-after dances in the game. It was last seen on 25th November 2018, and only the OG players have it in their counts. 

1. Fresh

The rarest emote in Fortnite is Fresh. It’s an Epic emote in the game, which was released back in Season 2 on 16th December 2017. The emote is widely known for being based on the famous “Carlton Dance,” a signature move by Alfonso Ribeiro. However, due to some lawsuit with Epic Games, it’s highly unlikely that Fresh will ever make a comeback to the game.
