Fortnite Adds Aggressive Emote Filter Feature in v29.30 Update and Introduces Billie Eilish Chapter at Festival

Epic Games has released an update for Fortnite (29.30) that includes a new feature allowing players to filter out certain emotes considered “aggressive”. With the v29.30 update, players can choose not to see emotes such as “Laugh It Up,” “Take the L,” “Whipcrack,” and “Make it Plantain.” These emotes will be displayed as still images without any dancing or music. Players have the option to configure the setting to only show these emotes when performed by friends or hide them completely.

Fortnite has been criticized for its aggressive emotes in the past, with many players expressing concerns about their use. Emotes like “Laugh it Up” and “Take the L” are often used after eliminating an opponent or winning a match, leading to toxic behavior and confrontational nature.

The update also includes a new chapter for the Fortnite Festival featuring music star Billie Eilish. Players can obtain an exclusive Eilish skin in the game’s item shop, along with a special style that can be unlocked through the Festival Pass. The game will also feature various pieces of music from Eilish’s discography.

Overall, this update aims to improve player experience by allowing them to customize their gameplay and enjoy new content related to popular music artists like Billie Eilish.
