Animal Crossing: New Horizons became a phenomenon when it was released in March and has received a number of updates since launch. It's added everything from characters from older games in the series, brand new villagers and seasonal content. That includes seasonal reactions and emotes. It can be difficult to unlock all 46 for even the most dedicated players.

Most reactions are unlocked by interacting with your fellow villagers, who run towards you and call out their name when they want to teach you one. Only one can be unlocked per day. Unless you plan on time-traveling frequently, unlocking them all will take some time. Reactions are unlocked by the villager's personality type.

Default Reactions

Four reactions will be unlocked the first time any villager teaches you about emotions: joy, greetings, delight and surprise. This interaction will happen by your fourth day on the island.

Normal Villager Reactions

Normal is one of the four personality types of female villagers in ACNH. Normal villagers can be identified by their pleasant demeanor, balance of indoor and outdoor activities, and diverse clothing choices.

Interacting with a villager who has a normal personality type unlocks four reactions: pleased, fearful, sadness and glee. A fifth reaction, daydreaming, can only be unlocked by becoming best friends with a villager who has a normal personality type.

Peppy Villager Reactions

Another female personality type, peppy villagers are a more hyperactive version of a normal villager. They can be identified by their colorful clothing, high pitched voices, and interest in outdoor activities.

Peppy villagers teach the player four reactions: appiness, Aggravation, Sleepy, and Curiosity. Getting past their occasionally creepy asides and becoming best friends with a peppy female villager unlocks the mischief reaction.

Snooty Villager Reactions

Snooty villagers have a high opinion of themselves. These female villagers are fashionistas; they can always be found in fancy clothing and wearing makeup. They care deeply about their reputations and love to gossip.

The four reactions a snooty villager can teach the player are Intense, Thought, Sighing and Amazed. Players who can endure their arrogance and scathing comments to become best friends with snooty villagers can learn the Love reaction.

Uchi/Big Sister Reactions

These sisterly villagers are the rarest in the game. Their cheerful, nurturing demeanor makes them easy to spot. They can even be found singing around the island. They're blunt and sarcastic without being mean about it, which is a rare gift.

When Uchi villagers aren't caring for the entire village, they can teach the player four reactions: Laughter, Apologetic, Cold Chill and Disagreement. Becoming best friends with your surrogate big sis earns you the Confident reaction.

Snooty Villager Reactions

Smug villagers are formally polite but love to brag. They're most likely to chat up other villagers, to let them know how great they are. Their formality extends to their wardrobe; they dress in jackets, vests, and sweaters. They are Animal Crossing's answer to Community's Jeff Winger.

Smug male villagers, like the popular business cat Raymond, can teach players four emotes. That is, when they're not telling you how cool they are: Smirking, Heartbreak, Resignation, and Dozing. Players who become best friends with the most self satisfied residents of their islands can learn the Showmanship reaction.

Lazy Villager Reactions

Lazy villagers are homebodies who love eating and talking about food. They are the chillest inhabitants on the island. They dress and do everything else casually. One of their main outdoor hobbies is sitting around.

Lazy villagers can summon the energy to teach players four reactions: Bashfulness, Sorrow, Mistaken, and Shyness. If you become best friends with a chill bro, you can learn the Pride reaction.

Jock Villager Reactions

Jocks are obsessed with fitness. It's all they can talk about. You'll see them around the island exercising in their workout clothes. The island's jocks are the encouraging, friendly kind of gym rat.

In between bicep curls, jocks can teach you four reactions: Encouraging, Sneezing, Distress, and Shocked! If you become enough of a gym buddy with them to become best friends, they'll teach you the Flourish reaction.

Cranky Villager Reactions

Cranky villagers take some time to win over but will eventually become friendly. They have an unhappy demeanor and deep voices. Their main hobby is gossiping. They wear sweaters, jackets, and tee shirts.

Once you've cracked their icy exteriors, cranky villagers teach four reactions: Agreement, Worry, Sheepishness and Bewilderment. If you can become best friends with one of your island's surliest inhabitants, they'll teach you the Inspiration reaction.

Halloween Reactions

If you missed out on Animal Crossing's Halloween Update, you can still take part via time travel, if that's something you haven't taken a personal stance against. Set the date on your Switch back to September 30. From there, you can buy the one piece of candy a day from Nook's Cranny. You'll need to exchange it with the Halloween Czar and other villagers in order to receive the two reactions, Scare and Haunt, on October 31. More candy can be earned on the day of Halloween.

That's all you'll need to know to unlock every Animal Crossing: New Horizon reaction...for now, that is. Animal Crossing is continuing to receive new content, including an upcoming reaction pack releasing as part of the Nov.19 update that can be redeemed with Nook Miles.
