The latest Slap Battles update brings a fresh addition to the game: the Riftshot Glove and the Bullseye Badge — along with several major gameplay tweaks and quality-of-life improvements. Below is a complete breakdown of Slap Battles Riftshot Glove Update and everything added, changed, and fixed in this update, along with strategies for unlocking and using the new glove effectively.
1. New Additions
Riftshot Glove
The highlight of this update is the Riftshot Glove, a new ability-based glove that brings precision aiming and spatial control to Slap Battles.
How to Unlock:
You’ll need the Bullseye Badge to obtain it.
- To earn the Bullseye Badge, hit your target perfectly using Riftshot’s projectile ability under specific accuracy conditions (details will likely be revealed soon as players discover them).
- Once you have the badge, Riftshot becomes available in the glove selection menu.
Glove Concept:
Riftshot is designed around precision. It launches a focused energy projectile that travels in a straight line — similar to a sniper shot — capable of knocking players with high force if aimed correctly.
- The glove emphasizes timing and aim rather than close-range spamming.
- It’s ideal for controlling distance, picking off opponents from range, and punishing predictable movement patterns.
Ability Preview (Speculative from Update Context):
- E Ability (Riftshot Fire): Fires a fast-moving shot that knocks back opponents. Likely has a cooldown and may require manual aim.
- R Ability (Dimensional Recall or Reset): Possibly allows repositioning or reloading the Riftshot faster.
(Note: Exact stats like knockback, cooldown, and ability visuals will become clearer once confirmed in-game.)
Bullseye Badge
This badge is directly tied to the Riftshot Glove.
Description: Earned by landing a perfectly aimed Riftshot on a target.
Purpose: Unlocks the Riftshot Glove permanently once acquired.
Trevor the Duck (Limbo Version)
A hidden Easter egg in this update!
- Trevor the Duck is the Limbo version of Alberto the Duck.
- When collected, it can be used to access Limbo by activating Reverse.
- He’s hidden somewhere within Limbo — so exploration is key if you want to find him.
2. Major Changes
Halloween Content Reverted
All Halloween decorations in both SB (Slap Battles) and SR (Slap Royale) have been removed.
“Little Coffin of Horrors” Crate has also been removed from the shop.
This signals the end of the Halloween event and a full reset back to the normal game state.
Spoonful Glove Adjustment
E Ability Change: After 2 seconds of using the ability, iframes (invincibility frames) are now removed.
This prevents players from abusing Spoonful’s invincibility for too long, requiring smarter timing on ability use.
Harvester Nerf
Crow Dodging reduced to 2.
This limits the glove’s escape potential and makes it more balanced in duels.
Joust Glove Control Change
Turning is now harder while using the ability.
This reduces over-maneuvering and makes charging attacks more skill-based rather than chaotic.
Slicer Glove Fix
Projectile Direction Fixed: Slicer projectiles now travel straight forward instead of an arc.
This makes aiming more predictable and consistent, improving hit reliability.
Eggler Rework
A significant mechanical rework that changes both E and R abilities:
E Ability:
- Egg is now lighter and takes more knockback.
- Has a white trail when slapped.
- Cracks open instantly on impact with any surface.
- +50 Knockback when it hits a player directly.
R Ability:
- Egg now breaks open after being slapped twice.
These changes make Eggler’s gameplay more dynamic and chaotic — more interactions, faster breaking, and higher offensive potential.
3. Fixes & Improvements
Kraken Bossfight Fixes
Badge Reward Fixed: Now properly grants the badge upon victory.
Player Death Removed: Beating Kraken no longer kills your character post-fight.
Attack Overhaul: The three-tentacle attack (previously almost impossible to dodge) has been removed.
This makes the Kraken encounter much fairer and smoother for players.
4. Strategy Tips for Riftshot Users
Master Distance Control:
The Riftshot’s power lies in spacing — staying far enough to land shots while avoiding melee slap zones.
Predict Movement:
Unlike area-based gloves, Riftshot rewards prediction. Watch how players move, then aim slightly ahead of their path.
Use Terrain:
Fire from higher ground or safe zones to minimize counter-slaps while sniping targets.
Pair with Reverse Users:
Reverse gloves can bait players into movement patterns you can exploit with Riftshot’s precision.
Bullseye Consistency:
To get the Bullseye badge efficiently, practice hitting mid-range stationary targets before attempting moving ones.
This update focuses on balancing old gloves while introducing the precision-based Riftshot Glove — a strong contender for players who value accuracy and positioning. The addition of Trevor the Duck adds a fun exploration challenge, while rebalancing and bug fixes improve gameplay fairness overall.
If you’re a player who loves skill shots and calculated aim, Riftshot is a glove worth mastering.
