Survivor emotes for communication

So far, we only have a pointing and a come here emote. So I thought, wouldn't it be useful to have more emotes such as:

-a Shh emote: A survivor can tell another survivor to stay quiet when they are unaware of a killer's presence

-A "stay low" emote: A more obvious emote that has the same effect as the Shh emote, just more effective when you're further away from the other survivor

-wave hands in the air frantically emote: which is a "RUN!!!" message or "GET OUT OF THERE" message aka the survivor frantically gesturing to the unsuspecting survivor that the killer is behind them.

Any emote that can help to express the situation to another survivor with gestures would help a lot especially for solo queuing.

    I've maintained for a while that I'd love to see a "thumbs up" emote and that frantic arm-waving motion, the former obviously being done with a little more of a hushed and rushed vibe- not talking about the Fallout 76 thumbs up lmao

    I would love more emotes as long as they remained practical. We don't need dancing survivors...but I would like a "wait here" or as you said....a "stay low" or shush" emote. We don't need anything trollish like a laugh or clap and give killers even more reasons to cry on these forums.

    They should just add commands like "doing generator" or "the killer is on me" that would be visible to all survivors in the trial. But alas, solo survivors don't deserve to play the game even remotely on level of SWF, solo survivors are here just to suffer.

    We generally need a wave emote. I just want a proper way to say goodbye to nice killers at the exit gate.

    They said in a recent QnA stream they "won't be adding any new emotes as the added communication for survivors would be unfair to killers."

    Meanwhile SWF with voice chat has existed for years and they ignore it. lol
