Bloodborne Gestures and How to Unlock Some

Bloodborne features a multiplayer component and as part of Co-op play you will be able to communicate with your teammates via Gestures. These are Bloodborne’s version of emotes your character will perform on command.

In this guide we’ll try and explain how to equip and use gestures as well as how to unlock some of them.

You can evoke the Gestures menu by pressing the left side of your controller’s touch pad . You can preview each of the currently equipped gestures there, as well as test them and slot different emotes. You can perform gestures by pressing the button and moving your controller in a certain way. Icons explaining each motion you have to perform are shown in the menu.

All you have to do is press L1 when you compose your message and a ghost version of you, performing the emote, will show up for the person reading your note.

Here’s a video demonstrating some of the emotes:


Some are not available right away and you have to unlock them by visiting a certain NPC in a certain area, or performing some task. When you first create a character you’ll have a predetermined set available. These are:
