The latest update for the chaotic Roblox experience, Slap Battles, has arrived, bringing a wave of new content that changes up strategies and adds fresh ways to express yourself. Dubbed the “Chain Mastery Update,” this patch introduces a shocking new glove, a new way to unlock a classic one, significant mastery changes, and a highly requested quality-of-life feature. Here’s a complete overview of everything new in the Slap Battles update.
New Glove: Pylon Glove
The headline addition is the brand-new Pylon Glove, available for purchase in the glove shop for 24,500 Slaps.
Stats: It boasts 50 Power and 16 Speed.
Ability: Its primary function is to place an electric pylon on the ground. This pylon will stun and damage opponents who get too close, making it an excellent tool for area denial and crowd control.
Strategy: With a short cooldown of just 4 seconds, players can strategically place multiple pylons to create defensive fortifications or trap enemies in corridors.
The Pylon Glove offers a more tactical, zone-control playstyle compared to many direct-attack gloves.
How to Unlock the Paint Glove (New Method)
The Paint Glove now has a new, permanent unlock method via a special event, moving away from its previous availability.
Start the Event: Look for the new Takeover Event icon on the main island. This will transport you to a unique graffiti-themed challenge area to access the “Splat Battles” mode.
Complete the Challenge: Inside, you must complete a specific objective related to the event’s theme.
Defeat the Bot: After completing the initial challenge, you will face a bot in a one-round match. Defeating it is the final step.
Claim Your Reward: Upon victory, you will be awarded the “Color Splash” badge. This badge permanently unlocks the Paint Glove for your account.
This method provides a clear, skill-based path to obtaining the Paint Glove.
Mastery Changes: Chain & Moai Gloves
This update revamps the mastery system for two specific gloves, making one more accessible and giving another its own dedicated track.
Chain Glove Mastery: The Chain Glove now has its own unique mastery track. This means earning slaps with the Chain Glove will contribute towards its specific mastery rewards, separate from other gloves.
Moai Glove Mastery: The requirement for the Moai Glove’s mastery has been changed. Instead of requiring a “cheese” item, it now requires a diamond. The associated mastery banner has also been updated to reflect this change.
These adjustments provide clearer goals for players dedicated to mastering these specific gloves.
New Feature: Emote Wheel
A popular feature from the Slap Royale game mode has finally been integrated into the main Slap Battles experience: the Emote Wheel.
How to Access:
PC: Press the Comma ( , ) key.
Console: Press the DPad Down button.
Chat: You can also type
/emotesinto the chat.
Function: This wheel allows you to quickly select and use emotes during a match, adding a new layer of fun and communication (or taunting) between players.
