The Piñata anniversary event adds a special unlock challenge to Slap Battles, and many players are trying to grab the limited Piñata glove before the celebration ends. Unlike normal gloves that you can buy with slaps, this one is tied to an hidden event mechanic and a badge requirement. If you don’t know what to look for, it’s easy to miss your chance. This guide explains exactly how to unlock the Piñata glove and badge step by step, plus a quick showcase of how the event works.
How the Piñata Event Works
When you join a regular public server and load into the main island, the game doesn’t give you direct instructions. The Piñata is an event object that spawns randomly during live gameplay. It can appear anywhere on the island, and when it does, every player in the server can run toward it and attack it.
The Piñata is bright and colorful, so it stands out once it spawns. The biggest mistake players make is ignoring it while fighting or farming slaps. Since the spawn is random, you need to stay alert and be ready to move as soon as it appears.
Steps to Unlock the Piñata Glove and Badge
Follow these steps to secure the unlock:
- Join an active public server Enter a normal public lobby with several active players. A busy server increases the chances of the event progressing quickly.
- Watch for the Piñata spawn Stay near the center of the island so you can reach the Piñata fast. Avoid long fights that pull you too far away.
- Rush to the Piñata immediately As soon as it appears, run straight to it. Many players will gather around it at the same time.
- Continuously slap the Piñata Participation is required. You must actively hit it multiple times. Don’t slap it once and walk away. Keep attacking until it breaks.
- Wait for the badge reward When the Piñata bursts, the anniversary badge is automatically added to your account if you contributed enough hits. There’s no NPC or manual claim button.
How to Equip the Piñata Glove
After earning the badge, return to the lobby and open your glove inventory. Scroll through your unlocked gloves and you should see the Piñata glove available to equip.
If it doesn’t show up right away, reset your character or rejoin the server. A quick refresh usually fixes inventory delays. Once it appears, you can equip it like any other glove.
Tips to Unlock It Faster
A few simple habits can make the process smoother:
- Stay close to the island’s central area for faster reaction time
- Avoid getting stuck in long player fights
- Play in active servers where players respond quickly to events
- Focus on hitting the Piñata until it fully breaks
The key is awareness and consistent participation. The more you contribute, the safer your chances of getting the badge.
The Piñata glove is a fun anniversary reward that depends entirely on timing and participation. By watching for the random spawn, rushing in quickly, and continuously hitting the Piñata, you can secure the badge and unlock the glove without much trouble. With a bit of patience and good positioning, adding this limited event glove to your collection becomes a straightforward task.
