Taunts

Taunts are a new feature in Battle Bears Gold, released in Update 2.3, allowing players to celebrate by making the character dance while the camera views the taunt from a third-person view. A taunt can be activated by tapping the Woohoo button on the team-speak menu, but a simple WooHoo exclamation is still possible if it is done in mid-air. A player cannot interrupt a taunt once it is activated by moving or any other voluntary action. In addition to the fact that the player can still take damage and their reload process restarts when they taunt, this makes the player very vulnerable to attack while taunting.

Each Taunt costs 100 Gas.

The Team-speak feature was rumored to be removed because of Taunt implementation, but this was later proved as false in an announcement on the Battle Bears Facebook page in response to the fan-base.

Individual taunts
Each class in the game is able to perform a certain movement pattern to celebrate a victory etc. Each movement pattern varies, depending on the player's actual character.

Trivia

 * So far, the taunts seems to have a duration of 2-3 seconds each.
 * Taunts were originally set to be released with Version 1.4.1. This didn't happen due to time issues, nor did it happen in Version 1.4.2 due to prioritization of the new stage, the Shortest Parsec.
 * Taunts are most likely to be inspired by the taunts made by the characters in Team Fortress 2, a highly popular first-person shooter.
