Key takeaways
- Play on the Lobby map. The G X badge triggers in the lobby area, not inside a match arena.
- Server population matters. A quiet server (few players) reduces the chance that someone else finishes the puzzle first or interferes with your sequence.
- Expect to re-run it. The puzzle is a sequence puzzle; one wrong input means restarting from the first step.
- Keep your camera loose. Several steps are inside tight hedge geometry where a close camera hides interactables.
How to Get the G X Glove in Roblox Slap Battles
The G X glove (also written G-X) is a badge-locked glove in Roblox Slap Battles that you can only obtain on the Lobby map by completing the hidden “G X” badge puzzle inside the hedge maze, where you light torches, ring bells, and pull a lever in the correct order. You cannot buy it with Slaps, and there is no shop shortcut — the badge is the only unlock condition, so every step below is mandatory.
This guide covers the exact badge name, the full maze route, the puzzle sequence, and the mistakes that stall most players. Note that Slap Battles receives periodic updates, so if a step ever behaves differently than described, check the in-game badge list and the game’s official patch notes to confirm the puzzle hasn’t been reworked.
What You Need Before You Start
Nothing about the G X glove requires a specific glove equipped, a minimum slap count, or a purchased gamepass. The requirements are entirely about where you go and what you touch, per the game’s badge system. Still, a few preparation points make the run far less frustrating:
- Play on the Lobby map. The G X badge triggers in the lobby area, not inside a match arena.
- Server population matters. A quiet server (few players) reduces the chance that someone else finishes the puzzle first or interferes with your sequence.
- Expect to re-run it. The puzzle is a sequence puzzle; one wrong input means restarting from the first step.
- Keep your camera loose. Several steps are inside tight hedge geometry where a close camera hides interactables.

Step-by-Step Route Through the Maze
Step 1: Enter the hedge maze from the lobby
Walk out of the main lobby spawn area and locate the hedge maze entrance. This is the same hedge structure that appears in the lobby’s scenic section. The reason this matters: the puzzle interactables only load and only respond inside this maze zone, so triggering anything from outside simply does nothing.
Step 2: Work the torch section first
Inside the maze you’ll find torches positioned along the path. Interact with the torches rather than walking past them. The reason to handle torches before touching bells or the lever is that the puzzle is order-sensitive — starting with the lever or bells will silently invalidate your run, and you’ll have no error message telling you so. You’ll simply finish and get no badge.
Step 3: Ring the bells in the maze
After the torches are handled, locate the bell interactables deeper in the maze and ring them. Again, the sequence is the point. Players commonly report that ringing bells out of order is the single most frequent cause of a failed badge attempt — the bells give audio feedback but no confirmation that the sequence was accepted.
Step 4: Pull the lever
The lever is the final input. Once the torch and bell steps are satisfied in order, interacting with the lever completes the puzzle and awards the G X badge. The badge is what unlocks the glove — you don’t receive the glove directly from the lever; you receive the badge, and the glove then becomes selectable in your glove inventory.
Step 5: Equip the glove and confirm the badge
Open your glove selection menu and check that G X is now available and no longer greyed out. Then open your Roblox profile badge list and confirm the G X badge is present. If the glove is available but the badge hasn’t appeared in your Roblox profile yet, wait a moment and refresh — badge records can lag behind in-game unlocks.
Worked Example: Why Order Sensitivity Costs You Runs
Suppose a player spends 6 minutes navigating the maze, 2 minutes finding the torches, and then rings the bells before finishing the torch sequence. Total time invested: roughly 10 minutes. Because the puzzle accepted the wrong order, the lever does nothing and the badge does not fire. That player must re-enter and redo all three input groups — torches, bells, lever — from the start. Across a realistic 2–5 attempt learning curve, that’s 20–50 minutes of maze time for a glove that takes under a minute to actually claim once you know the order. The takeaway: budget your first two attempts as reconnaissance, and treat the sequence as strict, not forgiving.
Common Mistakes That Block the Badge
- Doing the lever first. The lever is the last input, not the first. Pulling it early does nothing and gives no error.
- Skipping torches you can’t see. Some torches sit at angles where the prompt only appears if you stand directly in front of them. Circle each position fully.
- Ringing bells while another player is mid-puzzle. Contested interactables in a busy server can make it unclear whether your input registered. Use a quieter server.
- Assuming it’s Slap-gated. It isn’t. Farming Slaps will never unlock G X. If you’re grinding Slaps hoping for it, stop — the badge is the only gate.
- Leaving the maze between steps. Exiting and re-entering resets your input progress, so complete all three groups in one continuous run.
Is G X Worth the Effort?
Judged purely as a time investment, the G X glove sits in the “cosmetic flex” category rather than the competitive-meta category. The unlock cost isn’t Slaps — it’s a one-time maze puzzle that most players finish in under half an hour once they know the order. Compared with Slap-gated gloves that require sustained grinding across many matches, G X is a low-grind, high-novelty unlock: short total time, but a strict sequence that punishes impatience. If your goal is a competitive main, look elsewhere; if your goal is a badge-locked collectible with a puzzle attached, this is one of the more efficient ones to add.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a specific glove to start the G X puzzle?
No. There is no glove prerequisite for the puzzle itself. Any equipped glove works, and the badge is awarded through the maze interactions rather than through any combat or Slap performance. Just make sure you’re on the Lobby map and inside the hedge maze when you begin.
Can I buy the G X glove with Slaps?
No. G X is badge-locked, not Slap-purchased. No amount of Slaps will unlock it, which is why players who grind currency for it end up confused. The only unlock condition is completing the maze puzzle in the correct order and earning the G X badge.
Why did the lever do nothing when I pulled it?
Almost always because the earlier steps weren’t completed in the correct order. The lever is the final input, and the puzzle is strictly sequential. If torches or bells were missed or done out of order, the lever registers but the badge doesn’t fire. Re-enter the maze and redo all three groups in sequence.
How long does it take to get the G X glove?
For an unfamiliar player, expect roughly 10–25 minutes including one or two failed attempts. Once you know the route and the order, a clean run can be finished in a few minutes. Player-reported attempts cluster around 2–5 tries, though that is anecdotal rather than an official statistic.
Does leaving the maze reset the puzzle?
Yes, treat it as a reset. Exiting the hedge maze between inputs clears your progress, so complete the torch, bell, and lever steps in one continuous run. If you need to grab something outside, do it before you start rather than between steps.
Where do I confirm I actually got the badge?
Check your Roblox profile’s badge list for the G X badge, and check your in-game glove inventory to see if G X is now selectable rather than locked. If the glove appears but the badge hasn’t shown up in your profile yet, refresh after a short wait — badge records can lag slightly behind the in-game unlock.
