Slap Battles is adding a glove that turns the joke inside out. Instead of wearing a giant white mitt on your hand, the Be the Glove update lets your character become the glove and hurl itself at other players. The event listing is live on Roblox, the artwork shows a walking glove character, and the wiki entry for the glove already exists — with almost every field still blank.
Quick answer: No official unlock requirement has been published yet. The glove arrives with the Be the Glove Update event, which runs Fri, Sep 18, 5:00 PM – Fri, Sep 25, 5:00 PM.
Be the Glove update event window and timing
The event page on Roblox is titled “Be the Glove Update!” and carries a one-week window rather than a single drop time. Slap Battles patches normally land on Fridays at 17:00 UTC, which lines up with the schedule shown on the listing.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Event name | Be the Glove Update! |
| Window | Fri, Sep 18, 5:00 PM – Fri, Sep 25, 5:00 PM |
| Interested count | 28.9K |
| Usual patch cadence | Fridays, 17:00 UTC |
You can join the game directly from its Roblox listing once the update goes live.
What Be the Glove does
The event description spells out the gimmick plainly, including the fact that becoming a projectile does not make you safe from being one yourself.
The new “Be the Glove” glove lets you experience being a glove by launching yourself at other people. Slaps can still affect you, although here it is more like getting a dap.
On the wiki side, the entry is a shell. Power, speed, ability, cooldown, tooltip, and the required badge are all listed as TBA, and the glove sits after Terrain in the glove order with nothing after it. That is normal for a glove page created ahead of a release, and those fields fill in once the patch is live and players start testing.
The Glovebuddy daniel concept behind the glove
Be the Glove traces back to a community concept posted as “Glovebuddy daniel glove,” pitched by its author as a partly joke glove built around the game’s mascot. The concept art matches the walking-glove character used in the event’s promotional image, which is why players have been treating the concept sheet as the closest thing to a spec sheet.
| Stat | Concept value |
|---|---|
| Power | 40–50 |
| Speed | 10 |
| Regain | 4s |
| Badge required | Befriend with devil |
The passive is the interesting part. Your head is replaced by a glove, so every slap you land is a headbutt in practice. Taking the glove off is not free either — unequipping kills your character and leaves you headless, which makes swapping mid-fight a real cost rather than a menu click.
These numbers come from the concept post, not from the released glove. Treat them as a preview of the design, not as confirmed in-game stats.
How to get the Befriend with devil badge (unconfirmed method)
The concept ties the glove to a badge called Befriend with devil, earned through a specific interaction between two existing gloves rather than a grind or a purchase. It needs a second player, so a friend or a cooperative stranger in the arena makes it far easier.
This route comes from the community concept, not from an official requirement list. The badge that actually gates Be the Glove may be different once the update ships.
How to confirm you unlocked Be the Glove
Badge gloves in Slap Battles announce themselves. When the requirement is met, the badge award notification appears on screen and the badge lands on your Roblox profile under the game’s badge list. After that, walk the glove hallway and check the Be the Glove stand — an unlocked glove can be equipped from its pedestal instead of showing a locked requirement line.
- Badge notification pops in-game the moment the condition triggers.
- The badge appears on your Roblox profile’s Slap Battles badge list.
- The glove stand lets you equip rather than displaying a badge requirement.
- Equipping turns your head into a glove if the released passive matches the concept.
Until the patch is live and the glove’s page fills in its power, speed, cooldown and badge fields, the Buddies and Daredevil route is the best lead going — worth attempting, not worth grinding at for hours. The confirmed requirement will surface quickly once players get their hands on the stand, and the wiki entry that currently reads TBA is the fastest place to see it change.
