If you are trying to unlock the new Barrel Glove Mastery in Slap Battles, you will need to complete a few specific challenges using the Barrel Glove. In this guide, I will walk you through each requirement and explain what you need to do so you can unlock the mastery without wasting time.
The challenges are mostly straightforward, but some of them can take a while because you need to hit a lot of players. I will also explain what the Barrel Glove Mastery gives you once you complete everything.
How to Find Barrel Glove Mastery
First, equip or find the Barrel Glove in your backpack.
Open your backpack and search for Barrel. Once you find the glove, select the Mastery Chart option.
This will open the Barrel Glove Mastery screen, where you can see all of the challenges you need to complete.
The mastery description mentions several upgrades, including master upgrades, placeable barrels, a new Body Slam ability, and heavier barrels.
So, if you enjoy using the Barrel Glove, completing these challenges is definitely worth doing.
Barrel Glove Mastery Requirements
There are four challenges you need to complete to unlock the Barrel Glove Mastery.
You need to:
- Smack 150 players after giving them Brain Damage.
- Hit 7 barrels in a row.
- Send 175 players to the hospital.
- Give 500 people concussions.
The requirements might look like a lot at first, but they are mostly about spending enough time using the Barrel Glove.
Smack 150 Players After Giving Them Brain Damage
The first challenge requires you to smack 150 players after giving them Brain Damage.
This means you need to use the Barrel Glove’s abilities to give players the required Brain Damage effect and then successfully smack them.
You will need to repeat this until you reach 150 players.
This is one of those challenges that sounds complicated when you first read it, but once you understand the required sequence, it becomes much easier.
I recommend focusing on this challenge naturally while playing rather than trying to rush through it all at once.
Hit 7 Barrels in a Row
The second challenge is much more specific.
You need to hit 7 barrels in a row.
This is likely the challenge where you want to pay the most attention to your positioning. You need to successfully hit seven barrels consecutively, so missing or breaking the sequence can make the challenge take longer.
If you have access to a private server or can coordinate with a friend, setting up a controlled situation can make this requirement much easier.
Take your time and focus on landing each hit rather than trying to do it as quickly as possible.
Send 175 Players to the Hospital
The third challenge requires you to send 175 players to the hospital.
In practice, this means you need to kill 175 players using the Barrel Glove.
This will probably be the most time-consuming requirement for many players simply because you need to eliminate a large number of opponents.
The easiest approach is to keep using the Barrel Glove during normal matches and work toward the total over time.
If you have a friend who is willing to help you, you can also make the process considerably easier by having them participate in your farming.
Give 500 People Concussions
The final challenge requires you to give 500 people concussions.
This basically means you need to hit 500 players with the Barrel Glove in a way that gives them the required concussion effect.
Unlike the previous challenge, you do not necessarily need to eliminate the players. The main goal here is reaching the required number of concussion applications.
Because you need 500, this will probably take some time, so I would recommend working on it alongside the other mastery challenges.
How to Get Barrel Mastery Faster
The Barrel Glove Mastery challenges are not necessarily difficult, but they are definitely time-consuming.
If you want to speed things up, playing with a friend can help a lot. A friend can make it easier to repeatedly perform the required actions without having to rely entirely on random players in public servers.
You can also use a private server when available and set up situations where you can practice the Barrel Glove’s abilities and work on specific requirements.
The most important thing is to keep track of which challenges you have already completed. There is no reason to spend extra time farming one requirement after you have already finished it.
Barrel Glove Mastery Rewards
Once you complete all four challenges, you will unlock the Barrel Glove Mastery.
The mastery provides several upgrades to the Barrel Glove, including:
- Mastery upgrades
- Placeable barrels
- A new Body Slam ability
- Heavier barrels
These upgrades make the Barrel Glove more interesting to use and give you additional options when playing.
Getting Barrel Glove Mastery in Slap Battles is mostly a matter of patience. None of the requirements are particularly complicated once you understand what each challenge is asking you to do.
You need to smack 150 players after giving them Brain Damage, hit 7 barrels in a row, send 175 players to the hospital, and give 500 people concussions.
I would recommend working on multiple challenges at the same time rather than focusing on only one. With a friend helping you, the process can also become much faster.
Once you finish all four challenges, you will have the Barrel Glove Mastery and its additional upgrades, including the new Body Slam ability and heavier barrels.
