The Pool Noodle Glove is one of the newest gloves added to Slap Battles, and unlike most gloves, you won’t unlock it by collecting Slaps. Instead, you’ll need to complete a very specific sequence of events during a match to earn the Return to Sender badge.
Since the requirements have to happen in the correct order, it can be a little confusing if you’re trying it for the first time. The good news is that once you know what each step is, it’s much easier to organize with a few friends or players in a public server.
Here’s exactly how to unlock the Pool Noodle Glove.
How to Get the Pool Noodle Glove in Slap Battles (Return to Sender Badge Guide)
To unlock the Pool Noodle Glove, you must earn the Return to Sender badge.
The required sequence is:
- Get hit by a Knockoff user.
- Lose your legs by stepping into a Trap.
- While missing your limbs, get attacked by a Beatdown user.
All three actions must happen in this order during the same attempt.
If anything interrupts the sequence or you respawn, you’ll need to start over.
Step 1 – Get Hit by Knockoff
The first requirement is finding a player using the Knockoff glove.
Allow them to hit you once.
Don’t attack them or reset afterward—simply move on to the next step.
Step 2 – Lose Your Legs With Trap
Next, find someone using the Trap glove.
Trigger one of their traps so your character loses its legs.
This is a required part of the badge, so make sure the trap actually removes your legs before moving to the final step.
Step 3 – Get Hit by Beatdown
Now comes the final requirement.
While you’re still missing your legs, find a player using the Beatdown glove.
Allow them to use their Beatdown ability on you.
If every previous step was completed correctly, you’ll receive the Return to Sender badge.
Once the badge appears, the Pool Noodle Glove becomes available to equip.
Return to Sender Badge
The Return to Sender badge is the unlock requirement for the Pool Noodle Glove.
If you don’t receive the badge after completing the sequence, double-check that:
- Knockoff hit you first.
- Trap removed your legs.
- Beatdown happened afterward.
- You didn’t respawn between steps.
The order is important, so skipping or rearranging any part won’t work.

Pool Noodle Glove Ability
Noodle Spike
The Pool Noodle Glove comes with the Noodle Spike ability.
While the ability is active, pressing E again changes your point of view.
Instead of using the normal camera, you can switch perspectives and control the glove from different angles, creating a unique gameplay experience compared to most gloves.
Passive Ability – One Man’s Army
The glove also includes a unique passive.
When equipped:
- Your character fights using a single oversized arm.
- The arm stretches roughly five studs long.
- It swings with your movement.
- The arm behaves differently from normal gloves and has its own animations.
This gives the Pool Noodle Glove a very different feel from traditional slap-focused gloves.
Best Way to Unlock It
Trying to complete the badge in a random public server can be frustrating because you’ll need three specific gloves.
The easiest method is:
- Join a private server.
- Ask three friends for help.
- Have each person equip one required glove.
- Complete the sequence together.
This usually takes only a few minutes compared to waiting for the right players to appear in public matches.
If you’re someone who enjoys collecting every glove in Slap Battles, the Pool Noodle Glove is definitely worth picking up. The unlock challenge is unique, the animations are unlike anything else in the game, and the Noodle Spike ability offers a fun alternative playstyle. While it may not be the strongest glove for competitive battles, its creative mechanics and exclusive Return to Sender badge make it a great addition to any player’s collection.
