How to Get the Map Emote

Social Rank is a special system you progress when doing activities with other players in SWTOR. As you gain social ranks, you’ll be able to access new rewards at every level. The Map emote is earned by reaching the correct social achievement Social IV. You can check if you have these in the Legacy panel, in the Global Unlocks > Other > Social section, and you can see your social rank in the Achievements > Legacy > Advancement > Group Finder section. Once unlocked, these emotes are legacy-wide, and you can use them on all your characters on your server.
