The Sand Glove is a recent beach-themed addition to Slap Battles, carrying the “Beach Day” ability and a summery look built around a shovel, a green figure, and a hooded character on its icon. Like other special gloves in the game, it sits behind a single badge lock rather than a slap cost, so you unlock it by earning the right badge instead of grinding a currency total.
Quick answer: The Sand Glove appears in your lobby glove lineup the moment you own the “Estival Heatweaver” badge. Once you have that badge, walk up to the Sand Glove stand and click it to equip.
Sand Glove stats and ability
The glove trades a little speed for a strong power rating and comes with an activated ability you trigger with the E key.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Power | 53 |
| Speed | 15 |
| Ability | Beach Day (press E to use) |
| Requirement | Own the “Estival Heatweaver” badge |
The Estival Heatweaver badge requirement
The Sand Glove stand lists one condition to claim it, and that is owning the “Estival Heatweaver” badge. Until the badge shows on your profile, the glove stays locked and cannot be equipped from the lobby.
An official method for earning the Estival Heatweaver badge is not currently confirmed. The glove’s icon hints at a beach theme through its shovel and hooded-character artwork, which has led players to test sand-related setups, but no verified unlock steps have been established for the badge yet.
Note: Avoid spending time on unconfirmed methods presented as guaranteed. If a specific trigger is announced or confirmed in-game, the badge and glove behave like the rest of Slap Battles’ badge-locked gloves, unlocking the item automatically once the badge is awarded.
How to equip the Sand Glove and confirm it worked
With a power value of 53 and speed of 15, the Sand Glove leans toward hitting hard rather than moving fast, so pair it with careful positioning in the arena to make the most of each slap.
