The Conker glove has just arrived in Slap Battles, and players are already trying to figure out how to unlock it. While the developers haven’t released official instructions yet, early discoveries and community theories give us a strong idea of how this glove will likely be obtained. This guide breaks down everything we know so far, the logic behind the theories, and the steps you should keep an eye on once the badge becomes obtainable.
What Is the Conker Glove?
In real life, a conker is the tough, round seed that falls from horse-chestnut trees. Kids often attach them to strings and use them as swinging weapons in a game also called “Conkers.” Slap Battles loves referencing real-world items and giving them quirky abilities, so the Conker glove is expected to follow this theme.
Why Players Believe the Badge Involves Trees
The badge is named “Conker of the Orchard,” which immediately hints at something nature- or tree-related. Since conkers drop from trees, the community has been focusing heavily on in-game tree locations.
Slap Battles has multiple trees scattered around the map, but some stand out more than others:
- Trees around the main spawn area
- Trees on the floating islands
- The lone tree on the Moai Island
This final tree, located on the island with the Moai head, matches the “conker tree” theme most closely, making it the strongest candidate for the badge trigger.
Current Leading Theory: A Conker Drops From a Tree
The most supported idea in the community is that:
- A Conker object will randomly drop from one specific tree.
- Players must interact with it when it appears.
- Interaction will teleport the player to a challenge area.
- Completing that challenge will unlock the Conker of the Orchard badge, which grants the glove.
This setup matches how previous event-style gloves were introduced, where a world object appears, players click it, and are transported into a mini-event.
Possible Wood-Themed Glove Requirement
The video also mentions the possibility that the game might require players to equip a glove that fits the “wood” or “nature” theme. While no confirmation exists yet, here are the gloves that theoretically match the theme:
- Tree-related or nature-themed gloves
- Any special glove that references plants, forests, or growth
This idea stems from past glove unlocks that required wearing specific gloves during the badge interaction.
Likely Locations to Watch
If you’re preparing for the event or waiting for the badge to go live, keep an eye on these areas:
1. Moai Island Tree (Highest Probability)
A single large tree, visually distinct, matching the natural feel of a chestnut-bearing tree. Many players believe this will be the activation point.
2. Main Arena Trees
Less likely, but still possible, as they are part of the standard map.
3. Upper Island Trees
If the developers want to encourage exploration, these could also be used.
The Conker glove appears to be tied to environmental interaction, most likely involving the Moai Island tree and a special event trigger where a Conker drops. Though not confirmed yet, the community’s theories follow the game’s usual glove-unlock patterns. Once the badge becomes available, expect a short challenge or event to complete before unlocking the glove.
