Roblox Slap Battles is a simple yet chaotic fighting game where players slap each other off the map into the void. The main goal is to collect “slaps” by hitting other players, which are then used to unlock a wide variety of unique gloves, each with its own special ability. With different game modes and fast-paced combat, Slap Battles offers a fun and unpredictable experience.
A new update has arrived, introducing a fresh glove to collect, a new badge to earn, and a significant rework to an existing one.
Changelogs: What’s New
The update brings one new glove and a corresponding badge for players to earn.
Added Plate Glove: A brand new glove has been added to the game. Unlock it to discover its unique slapping ability.
Added Ceramic Panic Badge: A new badge is now available. Its acquisition method is likely tied to using the new Plate Glove.
Nightmare Glove Rework
The Nightmare Glove has received a major overhaul, changing how its terrifying ability works in combat.
New Mechanic: Instead of locking players in first-person view, the Nightmare Glove now creates a dark aura.
Darkness & Illusions: When you get near a Nightmare user (within a 20-stud radius), the game will slowly get darker and spawn illusions around you.
Effect Duration: The darkness effect reaches its maximum level after 4 seconds of exposure.
Recovery: The effect wears off at the same rate it was applied once you move out of the Nightmare user’s range. The longer you were exposed, the longer it takes to clear the effect.
Conditional Passive: The Nightmare Glove’s passive ability now only works if you slap someone who is at the maximum darkness level.
Visual Indicator: Players who are at the maximum darkness level will have a black outline around them, making them easy to identify for the Nightmare user.
Counterplay: All effects wear off if the Nightmare user is eliminated.
Other Changes and Fixes
Bus Glove Update:
An indicator showing the direction the bus is heading has been added. This also applies to the Mastery version of the glove.
Bug Fixes:
Moved the Retribution glove’s stand to its proper spot on the map.
Fixed an issue that allowed players to use emotes without owning the necessary gamepass.
Conclusion
The Plate Glove update adds a fresh layer of strategy to Slap Battles. The new Plate Glove and its associated badge give players new goals to pursue, while the complete rework of the Nightmare Glove transforms it into a more area-control based tool that requires tactical positioning rather than a simple first-person lock. These changes, along with the quality-of-life indicator for the Bus Glove, ensure the chaotic slapping arena remains dynamic and engaging.
