You can’t currently get Turret Slap in Slap Battles the way players meant with the old Snow Turret ability, because the Snowball-related content it came from is no longer obtainable.

Quick Scoop

In older versions of Slap Battles, the Snowball glove had an ability called Snow Turret , which spawned a small turret that shot slowing snowballs.

  • That turret hit other players and could even hit you if you stood in its line of fire.
  • People often called this ability “turret slap” or “snow turret slap” because the turret did the slapping for them.

According to the Slap Battles wiki, the content tied to Snow Turret is marked as no longer obtainable as of January 2, 2026 , meaning new players can’t unlock it anymore.

Why You Can’t Get Turret Slap Now

Here’s what changed:

  • The Snowball glove and its Snow Turret ability relied on the Engineer’s Gift badge and Christmas event gifts.
  • The wiki explicitly states that the content “is no longer obtainable as of January 2, 2026.”
  • That means you can’t currently trigger or unlock the Snow Turret-style turret slap in normal gameplay.

So if your goal is:

“How do I unlock Turret Slap right now on live Slap Battles servers?”

The answer is: you can’t , because the event and associated unlock path are disabled for the current version of the game.

What Turret Slap Used To Be (Context)

Players who already had it from past events could:

  1. Unlock the Engineer’s Gift via Christmas gifts, usually involving the Mitten glove and “good presents” with a low drop chance.
  1. Use that badge to get the Snowball glove , which had the Snow Turret ability.
  1. Place a turret that:
    • Appeared in front of the user when they pressed the ability key (E).
 * Shot projectiles that **slowed enemies’ walk speed**.

 * Could hit the user too if they stayed in front of it, forcing you to move away after placing it.

That whole loop is now locked for new unlocks.

Related Current Turret‑Style Content

Even though Snow Turret / Turret Slap is gone as an unlock:

  • Engineer glove and sentry/turret gameplay are still part of the game.
    • The Engineer glove uses a Sentry ability to spawn a turret-like unit.
* You can use quests like “have your Sentry slap someone 2,000 times” and “kill 1,000 people with your Sentries” to progress Engineer mastery.
  • The UberCharged badge uses a turret interaction:
    • A Thor glove user charges you with their Volt ability.
    • You then equip Engineer, spawn a Sentry, and slap your own Sentry to unlock UberCharged.

While this isn’t “Snow Turret slap,” it’s the closest current mechanic where your turret is central to a slap/badge interaction.

Mini FAQ

Q: Is there any way to bypass the event lock or use private servers to get Turret Slap now?
No. The wiki clarifies that the Snowball/Snow Turret content is simply not obtainable anymore, even though earlier Christmas versions allowed private server grinding.

Q: If I already had Snow Turret, can I still use it?
Existing owners from earlier events generally keep their gloves/abilities unless the developers remove or rework them, but new accounts can’t unlock it via the old Engineer’s Gift route.

Q: Are there similar “auto-slapping” or turret-like gloves I can grind for instead?
Yes—Engineer’s Sentry and related mastery quests, plus badge interactions like UberCharged, give you turret-centric gameplay even if they don’t replicate Snow Turret exactly.

Short TL;DR

  • Turret Slap in the sense of the old Snow Turret from the Snowball glove is tied to Christmas event content.
  • That content is no longer obtainable as of January 2, 2026 , so you can’t newly unlock Turret Slap right now.
  • You can still play with turret mechanics through Engineer’s Sentry and badges like UberCharged , but they aren’t the same Snow Turret slap from earlier updates.
