Equipping Skydive Emotes
The great news is that once you’ve unlocked a skydive emote, it’s automatically equipped to the corresponding legend.[1][2] There’s no need to manually equip them like other cosmetic items. The emote will be ready to use in your next match.
If you have multiple skydive emotes for a single legend, the game will cycle through them as you use them in matches.[1]
Using Skydive Emotes In-Game
Now that your emotes are unlocked and equipped, it’s time to show them off in the arena! Here’s how to use skydive emotes:

You can perform skydive emotes anytime during the initial drop or when using a jump tower. Keep in mind that you can only use one emote per skydive.[2]
