Epic’s battle royale has hundreds of Emotes, each varying in moves, price, and rarity. Out of this, rarity seems to trump them because if you own one of the rarest Emotes in Fortnite, you are considered a veteran.

Along with crossovers, emotes have become one of the defining features of the game since taunting your enemies after taking them down is a great way to show off.

On that note, let’s take a look at the 10 rarest emotes in Fortnite in 2024.

What is the rarest emote in Fortnite?

The rarest emote in Fortnite is Fresh which was last seen in the Item Shop on November 21, 2018. This implies that players around the world haven’t been able to purchase this emote for over 1950 days and the number is increasing with each passing day.

Fresh is an Epic emote that costs 800 V-Bucks, and it has appeared in the Item Shop 30 times. Considering that we’re talking about the rarest emote in Fortnite history, the price seems minimal.

However, this is the thing that makes Fortnite cosmetics rare in the first place. While fan-favorite skins like Naruto, Goku, and All Might are purchased heavily at launch, rare skins and emotes like Fresh often get neglected.

Now that Fresh hasn’t been up for grabs for almost five years, it has finally gained the attention of the Fortnite community. Players who own this emote naturally get bragging rights as they are the true OGs who’ve been playing since Season 1.

With any of these emotes in your locker, you can without a doubt call yourself a Fortnite OG. This also means that other players in the lobby will look at you as a skilled veteran and might not engage with you out of fear.

Similar to the rarest Emotes, Mythic weapons are also hard to get your hands on and if you go looking for them, make sure to talk to some NPCs to get some goodies.
