Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players can emote and use sprays in the game by holding left on the D-Pad and selecting with the A/X buttons on controller. PC players can open the emote and spray menu by pressing the I key on keyboard by default. The keybind can be changed within the Settings menu.

The menu will appear on the lower left side of the screen with a list of currently equipped emotes and another tab dedicated to sprays. Scroll using the D-Pad or arrow keys to select the taunt you would like to use. This is the same menu where players can inspect their weapon, as it is part of the emote menu. It is also important to note that sprays may not show up on the ground or wall when used, but that depends on the type of surface.

Black Ops 6 players can change their equipped emotes and sprays in the Barracks menu. Go to the Barracks tab in the multiplayer menu, then choose Customize. There will be several options that can be customized, so pick the Emotes and Sprays box.

Players can then select which emotes and sprays will be equipped during the matches. There are five slots for sprays and four slots for emotes since the weapon inspect emote is equipped by default and cannot be switched out.
