The latest Slap Battles update has landed on Roblox, and this one brings a chilly new addition — the Walrus Glove, along with a glove trial system, avatar reworks, and a few quality-of-life improvements. Whether you’re after the new glove or just curious about the recent balance tweaks, here’s a full breakdown of everything that dropped in the October 2025 Walrus Update.
Slap Battles Walrus Glove Update – Glove Trials, New Codes
The highlight of this update is the brand-new Walrus Glove, available for players to unlock and test out.
Stats and Ability:
- Power: 52
- Speed: 15
- Ability: Tusk Rider (Press E to activate)
When you use the Tusk Rider ability, your character mounts a walrus and rides it across the battlefield. You’ll remain on the walrus until you’re slapped or jump off manually. It’s a fun and surprisingly mobile ability that adds a layer of chaos to arena play — especially in tight corners or crowded maps.
How it works:
- Activate with E to summon and ride your walrus.
- Jump to dismount manually.
- Getting slapped removes you from the walrus automatically.
The glove doesn’t grant invulnerability, but it does add movement-based evasion that makes you harder to hit, especially when combined with smart timing.
How to Get the Walrus Glove
At the time of this update, the Walrus Glove is unlockable directly through standard progression, but many players have also reported that you can try it via the new glove trial system (covered below).
To fully unlock it:
- Head to the main lobby and check the glove stand.
- Make sure your power level meets the requirement (52 Power).
- Equip it once unlocked or test it temporarily using the Trial feature.
New Feature – Glove Trials
One of the biggest new mechanics added with this patch is the Experimental Glove Trial System.
This allows you to test certain gloves for five minutes before deciding whether you want to grind for them permanently. It’s a smart feature for players who don’t want to waste time unlocking gloves that don’t fit their playstyle.
Important rules for Glove Trials:
- Trials last 5 minutes only.
- When your trial ends, your character dies automatically and the glove is unequipped.
- You can’t earn badges while trialing gloves.
- You can’t trial Detonator (it’s excluded from testing).
- Gloves must be at least 2 weeks old before becoming available for trial.
In other words, it’s a short test drive system — great for experimentation, but you’ll still have to earn your way to permanent unlocks.
Avatar and Clone Reworks
This update also comes with some important avatar mechanics adjustments:
When you die, your respawn point now appears where your avatar died, not the default spawn area.
Upon respawning, you gain brief invincibility frames (i-frames) with a visual cue.
During i-frames, you can’t take damage and are teleported back onto the island safely.
Clone behavior has also changed:
Clones now spawn randomly instead of using fixed hatches.
A portal appears in the sky to mark where the clone arrives.
A new Hatch Upgrade lets you place a temporary portal that connects back to your position.
Upgrade Cost: 50 Power
Cooldown starts once you exit the hatch.
These changes make the game feel more dynamic while cutting down on frustrating respawn bugs and clone exploits.
Balance Fixes & System Adjustments
Here’s a quick summary of the minor but impactful changes in this patch:
- Wormhole Mastery (R): Can no longer be used over the void.
- Lure Timer: Now disappears if the lured player dies.
- Detonator Marks: Automatically vanish if the Detonator user dies.
- Glove Inventory: Improved interface with clearer effects when equipping or attempting to use locked gloves.
These fixes clean up a few long-standing inconsistencies, especially for players running mastery setups or utility gloves.
New Codes
A new redeemable code was added in this update:
Code: walrus
Use it in-game for a potential reward (code availability may vary depending on active event windows).
To redeem:
- Launch Slap Battles on Roblox.
- Open the Codes Menu from the main lobby.

walrus
and confirm.
Always check official Slap Battles social channels for active codes — many rotate weekly.
Upcoming Content – Moon Mastery
The developer confirmed that the Moon Mastery update is scheduled for release next week.
While no official details are live yet, early leaks suggest it’ll feature gravity-based mechanics and possibly a new mastery-exclusive glove.
Expect patch 2 of the Halloween update cycle to drop around mid-October.
The Walrus Update brings a refreshing wave of content to Slap Battles, combining playful ability design with real mechanical improvements. The Tusk Rider ability gives mid-speed gloves a new sense of movement freedom, while the Glove Trials system is easily one of the smartest quality-of-life additions the game has made all year.
