GTA 5 is full of small features and gimmicks and even if you’ve invested hundreds of hours into GTA 5, you might not know that you can make your character point their finger at something.
Pointing your finger is something that not many players know how to do, and Rockstar Games doesn’t always make features like these clear to you. Today’s guide will focus on teaching you how to point your finger, and why it can be useful.
How to Point in GTA 5
Being able to emote with your character wasn’t something that you could do in previous GTA games. Rockstar Games wanted to innovate when it come to GTA 5 though, which is why something like pointing was added to GTA Online.
Here’s how you can point your finger in GTA 5 on every platform:
- PC: Press “B” to point
- Xbox & PlayStation: Tap “R3” twice in quick succession to point
Pointing is mostly useful in GTA Online, and this is because of what it symbolizes. Players might not sometimes be able to communicate through voice chat. This makes pointing to something the closest thing to actual communication.
It’s also a great way to show something that you can’t verbally point out to your friends via voice chat. In all honesty, pointing your finger is much more useful than most of the emotes in this game. Although it’s somewhat of a meme in the GTA community, you should still know how to do it.
How to Use Middle Finger in GTA 5
Now that we’ve covered a polite gesture, let’s move on to something a bit more impolite. Just like how you can point your finger, there is also another hidden emote animation that allows you to use your middle finger to flip someone off.
Using your middle finger in GTA 5 single-player is easy. However, it’s different on each platform and you have to be driving a car:
- PC: Hold Right-Click
- Xbox & PlayStation: Hold L1
Performing this action in front of random NPCs will most likely anger them enough to attack you. So watch out who you’re flipping off.
Using the Middle Finger On Foot
Now, you can’t pull off the middle finger gesture on foot if you’re in a single-player. The emote in question is called ‘The Bird‘, and it can only be done via the interaction menu (Press M) under the ‘Style‘ tab in GTA Online.
All in all, this is a great emote for messing with your friends or random people in GTA Online. Beware of who you flip off though, you never know if they might take it personally and chase you around the map.
Now you know how to point your finger in GTA 5. It’s a useful gesture that will help you and other players without microphones experience the game better. With that being said, there are other crucial features and mechanics that we’d recommend learning more about:
