Chainsaw Glove is one of the most aggressive and unique gloves in Slap Battles, offering players an entirely new way to play with its auto-slap mechanic, infinite speed scaling, and a high-risk overheat system.
Released as part of the May 2025 “Double Trouble” update, this glove has quickly become a favorite among players who enjoy high-speed pressure and chaotic encounters.
This guide explains exactly how to unlock Chainsaw Glove, what you need to prepare, and how it changes your gameplay once obtained.
Where to Find Chainsaw Glove in Slap Battles
Chainsaw Glove is available in the main glove selection area, but unlike some gloves that require special badges or secret events, Chainsaw Glove is unlocked through Slaps—the game’s primary progression currency.
Unlock Requirements:
-
Cost: 17,500 Slaps
-
No badges required
-
No crates or limited-time restrictions
You do not need to complete any quest or find hidden NPCs. As long as you have enough Slaps, you can unlock the glove instantly from the selection menu.
How to Farm Slaps Efficiently
If you’re not quite at 17,500 Slaps yet, here are some strategies to speed up the process:
1. Use Gloves With Area Control
Gloves like Overkill, Shukuchi, or Bus can help secure more slaps in crowded servers. Your goal is to hit as many players as possible without getting flung off.
2. Target High Traffic Servers
More players means more opportunities to land slaps. Join busy servers where multiple players crowd the middle or platforms. Avoid private servers unless farming with friends.
3. Use Arena Awareness
Position yourself where players respawn or gather. Wait for slap animations to finish and capitalize on their cooldowns. Predictable patterns often lead to easy slaps.
4. Avoid Overly Aggressive Lobbies
If you’re constantly getting flung off the map, switch servers. Efficiency matters more than kill count when farming Slaps.
Once you reach 17,500 Slaps, return to the glove area, scroll to find Chainsaw, and click to unlock it.
What Makes Chainsaw Glove Special
Chainsaw Glove isn’t just another slap tool—it introduces a new passive ability called Cutdown, which drastically changes how players engage in close combat.
Core Stats:
-
Power: 55 (moderate but consistent)
-
Speed: Infinite (ramps up over time)
-
Passive Ability: Cutdown
-
Tooltip: “Groovy” – a nod to the Evil Dead film series
Cutdown Mechanics:
-
When holding the glove, you automatically slap any player you touch
-
The glove heats up the longer it’s held, increasing your walk speed each second
-
If overheated, the glove explodes, dealing small AoE knockback (to you and others)
This creates a unique balance: high mobility and pressure versus the risk of blowing yourself up mid-match.
Pros and Cons of Chainsaw Glove
Advantages:
-
Auto-slap makes it excellent for chasing or crowd control
-
Unlimited speed scaling rewards sustained aggression
-
Combo potential increases with walk speed over time
-
Can slap ragdolled players through equip/unequip trick
Disadvantages:
-
Overheat explosion can stun you for 10 seconds if you’re careless
-
Weak against counter-type gloves like Parry, Reverse, Jebaited
-
Vulnerable to fast-gloves like Speedrun and Charge
The key to mastering Chainsaw is managing your heat level. Knowing when to disengage and cool down is as important as knowing when to chase.
Bonus Tips for Using Chainsaw Glove
-
If you’re overheating, unequip the glove briefly to cool it down
-
Use the explosion as a mobility tool to push yourself away from the edge
-
Don’t spam equip/unequip too fast—doing so will trigger an in-game warning and disable the glove temporarily
-
Save your high-speed movement for finishing plays, not early engages
Final Thoughts
Unlocking the Chainsaw Glove in Slap Battles is a straightforward process—no secret steps, no puzzles, just raw progress.
With 17,500 Slaps, you gain access to one of the most distinct gloves in the game, offering high mobility, aggressive engagement, and a slap mechanic that punishes anyone who gets too close.
But to master Chainsaw, you’ll need more than just speed—you’ll need timing, awareness, and the ability to play right on the edge without crossing into self-destruction.
