Zombies vs Humans Emote Update
v1.3 Tix shop, Sit’s hitbox quirk, and why dancing is not a win condition.
v1.3 shipped as The Emote Update. It did not replace Bomber. It added a Tix emote shop, achievement-gated dances, and a handful of command leftovers from Creeper Chaos. If you only come to Zombies vs Humans for conversion, you can skip most of this page. If you keep dying because you sat in a doorway, stay.
Tix still buy zombie variants first. Emotes are the leftover tickets after Hunter or Cannoneer. How to get Money and Tix.
How the shop works
Fandom’s Emote Shop notes: dances cost more Tix the lower they sit on the list. Some rows lock behind achievements. Cosmetics. No HP. No extra Q radius.
A working slice of available emotes (names and Tix as community tables list them — confirm in your live shop):
| Emote | Listed cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sit | 15 | Group. Tooltip “Ooh get it.” Lowers character height — used as a silhouette shrink. |
| Patty Cake | 25 | Duo. |
| Chess | 30 | |
| Sturdy | 30 | Traversal. Springtrap joke tooltip. |
| Shinji | Unlucky achievement + 30 | |
| Kazotsky Kick | 40 | Traversal. The TF2 tax. |
Command leftovers people still type in chat: /e penguin, /e monstermash. Old removed sits used /e dance4. If a 2024 clip says dance4 is the sit, that clip is pre-shop.
The only combat-adjacent trick
Sit lowers your height. Comments on zombie-explained videos treat it as a way to be “spotless” on a floor or behind a one-block lip. That is a silhouette trick, not invisibility. Last-minute vanilla outlines still paint leftover Humans. Hunter still lands on roofs. A sitting Human in a doorway is a free convert.
Use Sit in sandbox to see the crouch. Then use it on rated nights only when you already have a roof and a drop-down. How to survive.
Taunted (achievement: dance shortly after a kill) is a flex hunt, not a DPS steroid. Badges.
What emotes do not do
- They do not stop conversion. Godmode menus that sit next to an emote GUI are still scripts and still a ban.
- They do not replace Elytra, Grappling Gun, or Telepearl. Level unlocks.
- They do not count as codes. You cannot Verify “KAZOTSKY”.
- Duo emotes need a partner. Public 32s will not pause Night for Patty Cake.
Timeline placement
v1.2 was the zombie five-pack and keybinds (version history). v1.3 is the dance layer plus Hunter-era extras in easter-egg notes (metamorph variants, Scrooge McZombie bomber skin). v1.3.3 layered winter hats. v1.4 is Saving Grace. 2026’s storefront header is New Frontiers.
If a YouTuber spends half a video on emotes and never places a second pillar, they are farming Tix clips, not teaching the loop. Watch, buy Sit if you have tickets to spare, go back to best bases.
Recap — dances after doors
Buy zombie kits first. Sit is the one emote with a real hitbox side effect. Everything else is lobby flavor and achievement bait. v1.3 did not change win conditions. Night still ends at 0:00 with either a Human up or a full convert.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers players ask after every night.
When did emotes add to Zombies vs Humans?
v1.3, the Emote Update. They spend Tix in a dedicated shop. Some lock behind achievements.
Does Sit make you invisible?
No. It shrinks your silhouette. Outlines and Hunter still find you. Test in sandbox.
Should I buy Kazotsky before Hunter?
No. Tix on zombie variants first. Emotes are leftover tickets.
Is /e dance4 still Sit?
That was the old sit. Live shop Sit is a Tix row. Command penguin / monstermash still exist as leftovers.
