Bomb

The Bomb glove was added on January 29th, 2022 and is the 12th special glove in Slap Battles, You need the Short fuse badge to get it. Visually, this glove uses the same texture as the Killstreak, but with a black color instead of red.

Obtaining
To obtain this glove you will need to equip the Warp glove and teleport to someone who has fell off the island, or you can jump off the map and use the ability as soon as you touch the death space and you should get the badge and glove.

Ability
The ability of this glove, Detonation, is rather unique. You pull out a bomb and throw it in front of you, after which the bomb will go forward until you detonate it by pressing E again. If you don't detonate it after a while, it will explode automatically. Upon exploding next to a player, the player will be flung backwards a little bit, almost like a weaker version of the Woah glove’s ability and is also a projectile. It takes a few seconds to deploy the bomb, after which there is a 1 to 2 second cooldown before you can detonate it. This glove is good for crowd control with the big blast radius.



Target Value
This glove’s target value is around the middle, as the ability isn’t that annoying to deal with. Sure, if you happen to be standing close enough to an edge, you might be killed by it, but the bomb moves pretty slow, so you shouldn’t have to worry about being caught off-guard if you pay attention to your surroundings. The only reason people would target the bomb glove would be a camper on the other side of the map.

Ranking
The Bomb glove is one of the more decent gloves in the game. It’s bomb ability can be both good and bad. For example, the bomb is excellent at clearing out island campers, as it has a fairly large blast distance. The drawback, however, is that the projectile moves very slow. This gives other players ample time to dodge it.

Another thing Bomb is great at are combos, you can slap someone close to the edge, then quickly throw a bomb and blow them off of the edge. The bad thing with this is that the bomb has a detonation wait time, meaning you can’t detonate the bomb as soon as it is deployed. You are forced to wait around a second before you can detonate it. Unless you can get back over to the player and slap them off, they will be able to just walk around your bomb without getting hit by it’s explosion making you a sitting duck.

Trivia
