This is the first emote on the list. When this emote is used the character falls down on the floor completely flat.  This was a very beneficial thing to do, especially if you have a one-on-one fight. This cosmetic came in Chapter 3, Season 3. The emote ‘seemed’ nerfed later and the delay before falling down was increased.

2) Flippin’ Sexy 

This was released in Chapter 1 of Season 3. What made this emote unique is that the character stays laid on the ground for a longer amount of time. Imagine getting in a house and getting headshots by a player who was using the emote to lay flat inside a bathtub!

3) Flippin Away

This is yet another acrobatic emote that has caused a headache for many players. The heroic movement that this emote showcases, makes the user harder to hit. The emote came in Chapter 2, Season 3.

4) Shaolin Sit-up

The emote allows you to fall down and instantly sit up. This gives an advantage especially when you are scoping. It would be difficult for the opponents to predict this movement. The character also equips their weapon faster after the emote action.

5) The Synched Emotes

These emotes were completely removed from the competitive matches. The emote like chugga-chugga and Bear Hug had huge glitches. When two players used these sync moves, there was a glitch that allowed them to skip gun reload. That is, no delay in reloading and the players could just spam their bullets.

These are the top 5 emotes that were ‘broken’ in Fortnite. Have you ever been killed because of these emotes? Do mention them as comments below.
