To use an emote in Once Human, equip an owned emote on the expression roulette from the Cosmetics menu, then open the roulette in the overworld and release the selection. Wilderness standing actions are found in the Actions tab. Controls can change, so check the current in-game binding if the wheel does not open.
How to equip and use an emote
- Open the Cosmetics menu.
- Assign an emote you own. Select it and place it in a slot on the expression roulette.
- Open the expression roulette in the overworld. Move to the emote you want, then release the wheel selection to perform it. This workflow comes from a Game8 guide last updated July 22, 2024; check the current in-game controls if the menu or interaction differs. Game8’s Once Human emote guide
Where to find wilderness standing actions
Standing actions are listed in the Actions tab. The official Version 1.5.1 announcement, dated April 22, 2025, describes both actions exclusive to Legendary cosmetic sets and universal standing actions. These are distinct from the equipped emotes described in the roulette workflow. Once Human Version 1.5.1 update notes
How to get more actions
The official update identifies universal standing actions and actions tied to Legendary cosmetic sets, but it does not provide a complete current catalog or explain how every individual action is obtained. Another official update describes event rewards and the Starwish Shop as sources of exclusive cosmetic rewards generally; it does not confirm that a particular emote is currently available through either route. Check the live in-game listing before assuming an action is free, available now, or permanently obtainable. Version 1.5.1 update notes · Official update on cosmetic rewards

Troubleshoot a wheel that will not open
- Check the current key binding or platform controls in game; the July 2024 guide does not establish current controls for PC, mobile, or controller.
- Confirm whether you are trying to use an equipped emote from the expression roulette or a wilderness standing action in the Actions tab.
- The official Version 2.2.4 announcement, dated December 23, 2025, says the emoji wheel button changed from X to Z. That note does not establish that the emoji wheel and emote roulette share a binding on every platform, so do not assume the Z binding controls emotes. Once Human Version 2.2.4 update notes
