The latest Slap Battles Bounty Glove Update has dropped, and it’s one of the most exciting ones yet. Players can now unlock the Bounty Glove, earn the Dead or Alive Badge, and try out a brand-new limited-time game mode. Alongside these additions, the developers have introduced balance changes, fixes, and even some chat command tweaks. Here’s everything you need to know.
Slap Battles Bounty Glove Update – Randomizer Mode, Dead or Alive Badge
New Glove – Bounty
The Bounty Glove is the headline feature of this update.
- Power: 49
- Speed: 15
- Ability: Instigate (Passive)
To unlock it, you’ll need to earn the Dead or Alive Badge, which ties into the newly reworked Hitman glove mechanics.
How to Get the Dead or Alive Badge
Unlocking the Bounty Glove revolves around the Hitman Glove and its signature ability: the Golden Gun.
Here’s what we know so far:
- Equip the Hitman Glove.
- Use the Golden Gun ability against a player with a high bounty.
- This interaction is key to unlocking the Dead or Alive Badge.
There is speculation that:
- Two Hitman players may need to use the Golden Gun on each other at the same time.
- Or it could be based on defeating a player with a bounty greater than yours.
Either way, the Hitman’s Golden Gun is at the center of this badge unlock.
New Mode – Randomizer (Limited-Time)
The update introduces a fresh mode called Randomizer:
- Each time you die, you respawn with a random glove from your inventory.
- The mode will run for two weeks only, so be sure to try it out while it’s available.
- Adds a chaotic twist to matches, as you never know which glove you’ll use next.
