Of course Slap Battles dropped a machete mastery on Friday the 13th. The Slap Battles update that went live on November 13, 2026 adds the Starfruit glove, finally gives Slasher its mastery, and quietly reshuffles a stack of other gloves, from Plate to Glue. It also arrived with plenty of confusion: wrong slap prices, codes that don't exist, and odds changes nobody explained.

This guide clears all of that up. You will learn exactly how to get Starfruit, what its Stars ability really does, how to finish both Slasher Mastery quests, which codes are worth trying right now, and what every balance change means for your loadout. Grab your glove, we're starting with the short version.

⚡ Quick Answer

To get the Starfruit glove in Slap Battles, earn 22,750 slaps and buy it from its stand in the lobby. It has 52 power, 15 speed and an E ability called Stars that fires five piercing stars in a star pattern. Slasher Mastery needs 500 Machete Throw hits and 500 impales. No confirmed new codes dropped with this update.

What's New in the Slap Battles Starfruit and Slasher Mastery Update?

The developers kept the announcement short and sweet, pointing players to their Discord for the full changelog:

"this week we're adding the Starfruit glove and Slasher Mastery!"

The Slap Battles development team, official update announcement, November 13, 2026

Here is everything that changed at a glance:

Feature	What Changed
Starfruit glove	New slap-required glove for 22,750 slaps
Slasher Mastery	Two new quests plus upgraded E and R follow-ups
Plate	Power cut from 53 to 45, hitbox now matches the model
Pyromania	Fire knockback now lands after a 1 second delay
Glue, Recall, Combat	Quality of life fixes
Dice Mastery	New gloves in the roll pool and reworked odds
Codes	No confirmed new codes

How Do You Get the Starfruit Glove in Slap Battles?

Starfruit is a plain slap-required glove. No badge, no boss fight, no secret button hidden behind a tree. You just need slaps, and a lot of them. It is also the fifth fruit glove in the game after Slapple, Cherry, Conker and Pineslapple, and it started life as a player suggestion in the community Discord. Somebody out there really wanted a weaponized fruit salad.

⚠️ Important: Some early update lists put Starfruit at 2,250 slaps. That number is missing a digit. The real price is 22,750 slaps, so don't stop grinding early and then stare at a locked stand.

Check your slap total: You need at least 22,750 slaps in the bank before the stand unlocks.
Find the stand: Look for the yellow glove with a starfruit floating behind it among the lobby glove stands.
Buy and equip: Click the stand to purchase Starfruit, then equip it like any other glove.
Fire your stars: Press E to throw stars, or hold E to charge them up before release.

Starfruit Glove Stats and Ability

Stat	Value
Cost	22,750 slaps
Power	52
Speed	15
Ability	Stars (E)
Cooldown	10 seconds
Knockback	About 50 per star, higher when charged
Tooltip	"They said reach for the stars, so I reached for myself"

Stars throws five projectiles arranged like, well, a star. One flies straight where you face, two angle slightly left and right, and two shoot out toward your back sides. Every star pierces through as many players as it touches. Holding E makes them bigger and hit harder, and like Slicer, a star that hits an active Reverse user knocks them back and strips their ability. Reverse mains, consider yourselves warned.

What Starfruit Feels Like in a Real Server

I picked Starfruit up on launch night and spent my first ten minutes holding E like it was a super meter in a fighting game. Big mistake. You walk noticeably slower while charging, and anyone with a dash glove used that window to slap me straight into the void. What actually worked was the boring play: slap someone first, then tap E right away so the forward star catches them mid-flight. At long range, the gaps between stars open wide enough to drive a bus through, which in this game is not always a joke. Treat Starfruit as a follow-up tool, not a sniper rifle.

💡 Pro Tip: Slap first, star second. The forward star always follows your facing direction, so a quick E right after a slap turns one hit into a combo before your target can recover.

How Do You Unlock Slasher Mastery in Slap Battles?

First, you need Slasher itself. It is a badge glove added back on June 13, 2025, and you unlock it by earning the Reawoken badge. Its base kit has two moves. Vengeful Impale (E) dashes you forward with a machete, and Machete Throw (R) tosses one in the direction you face. Both leave a machete mark on whoever they hit. A second mark from Vengeful Impale adds extra knockback, while a second mark from Machete Throw ragdolls the victim for a few seconds.

Slasher Mastery Quests

Machete Throw hits: Hit 500 players with Machete Throw.
Impales: Impale 500 players with Vengeful Impale.

Finish both and the mastered variant unlocks in the glove's crown menu, next to the equip button.

What Mastered Slasher Actually Does

The mastery adds new E and R follow-ups that only work on debuffed players, and the two share a single cooldown. Launch showcase footage shows how it plays out:

After an impale, pressing E again freezes the target in place and opens a slap combo window.
The longer your slap combo runs, the more power each hit deals.
Machete Throw becomes a two knife move, and pressing R again sends the second knife for extra knockback.

Exact numbers like combo windows and frame data are not documented yet, so expect some tuning over the next few patches. Part of the community already thinks it needs a nerf, while others think it looks fairly mediocre. Classic Slap Battles discourse.

💡 Pro Tip: Throw first, impale second. Landing Machete Throw cancels the slowness at the start and end of Vengeful Impale and boosts its knockback, so one clean engagement ticks both quests at once.

⚠️ Important: Only landed hits count toward the quest. Missed throws on dodgy high-slap players do nothing for your progress, so farm in crowded areas where targets are slower and easier to tag.

Are There New Slap Battles Codes in This Update?

Short answer: no. Despite plenty of thumbnails screaming NEW CODES, no code tied to Starfruit, Slasher or Friday the 13th has been confirmed as of November 14, 2026. If you saw codes like "starfruit" or "slasher" floating around, nothing backs them up. The newest confirmed code, EvilCatseye, expired on October 16. These older codes are still unconfirmed, so try them, but keep expectations low:

Code	Reward	Status
MUT4TE	100 Null Shards	Unconfirmed
peppersfavoriteday	199 Null Shards	Unconfirmed
Happy5lappiversary	199 Shards	Unconfirmed
XMASDELAY	Free rewards	Unconfirmed
BATDELAY	Free rewards	Unconfirmed

Recently expired codes include EvilCatseye, SPL4SH, boing, E4RTH and spookyseason25.

How to Redeem Slap Battles Codes

Reach 1,000 slaps: The code box stays locked until you hit this total.
Open the code menu: Click the bird icon on the left side of the screen.
Type it exactly: Codes are case-sensitive, so copy the capitals as shown.
Redeem: Press the Redeem Code button and check your shard balance.

⚠️ Important: Some Slap Battles codes have died within hours of release. When a real new code drops, redeem it immediately instead of saving it for later.

What Else Changed in the Slap Battles Update?

Plate: Power drops from 53 to 45, and the hitbox finally matches the model. Bouncing on your plate now rebounds it back to you to throw again, and you no longer need to jump onto it first.
Pyromania: Fire knockback now triggers after a 1 second delay, which gives targets a tiny window to react.
Combat: Fight invites are now limited to party members and friends, so random strangers can't spam you anymore.
Recall: Press E again to cancel the ability midway.
Glue: Spraying someone at max no longer empties your whole tank, and the bar now drains over about 4 seconds.
Dice Mastery: Combat, Medusa, Leafblower, Jerry and Mihawk joined the roll pool.
Santa and Soul: Santa's milk swaps for a bob plush, and Soul's nail becomes a soul blast.

Dice Mastery Odds: The Quiet Winner of This Patch

Dice Mastery was reworked on November 6 so that it sacrifices a marked player to the RNG gods and rolls one of dozens of effects, with the best rolls saved to a monthly leaderboard. This update rebalanced those roll odds, and nobody seems to have done the math yet, so here it is:

Roll	Old Odds	New Odds	Change
Shield	1 in 12	1 in 125	About 10x rarer
Doorkeeper	1 in 22	1 in 1,500	About 68x rarer
Undead	1 in 87	1 in 1,000	About 11x rarer
Ice	1 in 20,000	1 in 5,000	4x likelier
bus	1 in 77,777	1 in 5,000	About 15x likelier
Spectator	1 in 5,000,000	1 in 1,000,000	5x likelier
gum	1 in 5,000,000	1 in 2,000,000	2.5x likelier
TERRY	1 in 20,000,000	1 in 2,000,000	10x likelier
barzil	1 in 100,000,000	1 in 50,000,000	2x likelier

The pattern is clear once you line it up. The common, boring rolls like Shield and Doorkeeper got much rarer, while the ultra rare jackpot rolls became 2x to 15x more likely. In plain terms, the developers trimmed the filler so more of your rolls land on something leaderboard-worthy. The odds of hitting barzil are still worse than finding a polite player in a Slap Royale lobby, but they did double.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you get the Starfruit glove in Slap Battles?

Earn 22,750 slaps, then walk to the Starfruit stand in the lobby and buy it like any other slap-required glove. There is no badge, puzzle or boss fight attached. Some early lists printed 2,250 slaps, but that number is wrong, so do not stop grinding at 2,250 and wonder why the stand stays locked.

What are the Slasher Mastery quests in Slap Battles?

You need to hit 500 players with Machete Throw and impale 500 players with Vengeful Impale while using Slasher. Finish both and the mastered version unlocks in the glove's crown menu, adding new E and R follow-ups on marked targets. The two mastery abilities share a cooldown, so you cannot chain them back to back.

Did the Starfruit update add new Slap Battles codes?

No confirmed new code arrived with the November 13, 2026 update, and codes like starfruit or slasher are not verified. Your best bet is trying the five unconfirmed older codes, such as MUT4TE and peppersfavoriteday, then watching the game's announcements, because recent Slap Battles codes have often expired within days.

How many slaps do you need to redeem codes in Slap Battles?

You need at least 1,000 slaps before the code box accepts anything. After that, click the bird icon on the left side of the screen, type the code exactly as written because codes are case-sensitive, and press redeem. Each code works once per account, so a second try on the same code will always fail.

When is the next Slap Battles update?

Slap Battles has followed a weekly Friday rhythm, with new content landing around 12 PM Eastern Time, and masteries usually arrive every second Friday. That points to Friday, November 20, 2026 for the next drop. The developers rarely reveal exact contents early, so treat any leaked glove list with healthy suspicion.

Is the Starfruit glove good in Slap Battles?

Yes, if you like zoning. Starfruit's stars pierce through everyone in their path, one always flies where you face, and holding E makes them bigger and stronger. The tradeoff is slowness while charging and wide gaps between stars at long range, so it rewards close and mid range follow-ups after a slap.

Is the Slap Battles Update Worth the Grind?

If you already own Slasher, the mastery is the real prize here. A freeze into a scaling slap combo is a big upgrade, and you can work on both quests in the same fight. Starfruit is a fun, fair glove at 22,750 slaps, but it shines as a follow-up tool rather than a must-buy. As for codes, skip the hype and try the five unconfirmed ones. The sneaky highlight is Dice Mastery, whose jackpot rolls just got a lot more reachable. The next drop should land on November 20, so finish your Slasher quests before the next shiny glove steals your attention.
