Default PC Keybinds to Emote in Violence District
To use custom emotes on PC in Violence District on Roblox, press the G key on your keyboard while in the lobby or during an active match [Mn0QZPQSkpc, L_CNgnYYdWY]. Pressing G opens an interactive circular emote wheel displaying your equipped animations [Mn0QZPQSkpc]. Move your mouse cursor toward the desired slot and click to activate the move [Mn0QZPQSkpc].
If pressing G fails to open the menu, community reports confirm that pressing the period key (.) serves as an alternate keybind [Mn0QZPQSkpc]. This alternate menu allows you to view and trigger up to eight different emote slots [Mn0QZPQSkpc].
Warning
If you have not assigned any emotes to your active slots, pressing your emote key will display nothing on screen [Mn0QZPQSkpc]. Before troubleshooting your keyboard or key mappings, ensure you have actively configured your loadout in the main hub [Mn0QZPQSkpc, L_CNgnYYdWY].
How to Equip Emotes in the Lobby
You cannot equip or swap emotes once a match has started [L_CNgnYYdWY]. All customization must be finalized in the pre-game lobby before queuing into a round [L_CNgnYYdWY].
Follow these steps to set up your emote wheel:
Spawn into the Lobby: Stand in the main safe area where menus are accessible [L_CNgnYYdWY].
Open the Shop: Click on the in-game Shop button located on your screen interface [L_CNgnYYdWY].
Navigate to Emotes: Switch to the dedicated Emotes category tab [L_CNgnYYdWY].
Assign to a Slot: Browse your inventory of owned emotes, click on the one you want to use, and select an empty slot (or overwrite an existing slot) on your wheel [Mn0QZPQSkpc, L_CNgnYYdWY].
Confirm and Exit: Once assigned, the emote is saved to your radial menu and ready for use in both the lobby hub and gameplay areas [L_CNgnYYdWY].
Players have access to multiple slots on the wheel, letting you mix standard movements like shrugs with rare unlocks purchased from the store [Mn0QZPQSkpc, L_CNgnYYdWY].
Avatar Setup: Why Game Emotes Require R15
If your character freezes, resets, or does not animate when selecting an emote from the wheel, your avatar rig type is likely the cause [Mn0QZPQSkpc]. Violence District uses custom animation skeletons built specifically for Roblox R15 avatars [Mn0QZPQSkpc].
If your Roblox profile is set to the classic R6 rig, the game cannot map multi-jointed custom dance moves or gestures onto your character [Mn0QZPQSkpc]. When using an R6 character, you are restricted to basic Roblox engine chat commands (such as typing /e dance or /e wave into the text chat) [Mn0QZPQSkpc].
To fix this issue:
Exit the game and open the Avatar Editor on the Roblox website or app.
Navigate to the Head & Body customization menu.
Open the Scale settings at the bottom.
Toggle your avatar type from R6 to R15.
Rejoin Violence District to access all custom animations properly [Mn0QZPQSkpc].
Controls for Other Platforms
While PC players rely on direct keyboard bindings, Violence District supports cross-platform controls for players on mobile devices and consoles [Mn0QZPQSkpc]:
Mobile (iOS & Android): Tap the dancing figure icon located on the right side of the screen to open the emote wheel [Mn0QZPQSkpc].
Console (PlayStation & Xbox): Hold D-Pad Up on your controller to open the radial wheel, then flick the Right Thumbstick toward the desired emote to trigger it [Mn0QZPQSkpc].
Regardless of your platform, the requirement to equip emotes in the shop lobby beforehand remains identical [L_CNgnYYdWY].
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does nothing happen when I press G on PC?
If pressing G does not open the wheel, first test the secondary keybind by pressing the period key (.) [Mn0QZPQSkpc]. If neither key opens an interface, verify that you actually equipped emotes in the lobby shop, as the wheel will not appear if all slots are empty [Mn0QZPQSkpc, L_CNgnYYdWY].
Can I change my emote wheel in the middle of a match?
No [L_CNgnYYdWY]. You can only equip, unequip, or swap emotes through the Shop menu while standing in the lobby hub [L_CNgnYYdWY]. Once a round begins, your equipped wheel is locked until you return to the lobby [L_CNgnYYdWY].
