In the fast-paced world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, communication is key. But sometimes, a well-timed taunt or a cleverly placed tag says more than words ever could. That’s where emotes and sprays come in. These expressive tools let you celebrate a clutch victory, taunt an opponent, or simply add your personal flair to the battlefield.Whether you're a new recruit or a seasoned veteran returning to the franchise, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about using and customizing your emotes and sprays.

What Are Emotes and Sprays?

Before we dive into the controls, let's clarify what these features do:
  • Emotes: These are short animations your character performs, such as a dance, a salute, or a gesture. They are perfect for post-match celebrations or in-game communication with teammates.
  • Sprays: Think of these as your personal graffiti tag. You can place these decals on walls, the ground, or other surfaces to mark your territory or leave a message for other players.
