You're standing in the arena. Someone hits you with a card. Suddenly, you're stuck in a literal game of Uno while a 10-ton bus is barreling toward your face. That is the chaotic reality of dealing with the Draw4 glove in Slap Battles.
Getting it isn't easy. It’s not like those gloves where you just walk into a portal and hope for the best. No, this one requires a mix of patience, a decent amount of Slaps, and a very specific set of circumstances involving the Reverse glove. Honestly, if you don't have a friend to help you out, you're probably going to be stuck in a public server for three hours questioning your life choices.
Most people think you just need to get lucky. That's kinda true, but there’s a mechanical rhythm to it that most players miss.
What is the Draw4 Glove Anyway?
Before we talk about the "how," let’s talk about the "why." Draw4 is basically the "Reverse Card" meme turned into a weapon of mass frustration. When you slap someone, you have a chance to trigger a UI element on their screen—a literal Wild Draw 4 card. It forces the victim into a mini-game. If they fail to react, or if the RNG gods are feeling particularly spiteful, they get hit with a massive knockback or an instant elimination depending on the environment.
It’s a badge of honor. It tells the rest of the server that you had the discipline to sit through one of the most repetitive badge hunts in the game.
The Actual Requirements for the Draw4 Badge
To get your hands on Draw4, you first need to unlock the Reverse glove. If you haven't done that yet, stop reading. Go get 5,500 Slaps. That’s the entry fee. Once you have Reverse, the real game begins.
The goal is to obtain the "What did you say?" badge.

The logic is simple: you need to use the Reverse ability at the exact moment another Reverse user tries to slap you. But wait, it’s more specific than that. You aren't just reflecting a slap. You are looking for a specific interaction where the game's logic loops back on itself.
The Step-by-Step Breakdown (The Manual Way)
If you are doing this in a public server, good luck. You’ll need it. You have to find another player who is also wearing the Reverse glove.
- Both players need to have their abilities off cooldown.
- You both need to activate the "Reverse" ability (the one that makes you glow blue/purple) at roughly the same time.
- You must slap each other simultaneously while both abilities are active.
When this happens, the game detects a paradox. Instead of just bouncing off each other, the "Reverse" effect triggers a feedback loop. This earns you the badge.
Is it glitchy? Yeah, a bit. Sometimes the server latency—especially if you're playing on a high-ping region—will make the game think one person slapped first. If that happens, you just get knocked back like a normal slap. You’ll know you got it when the badge notification pops up in the bottom right corner of your screen. No badge? No Draw4. Simple as that.
Why Public Servers are a Nightmare for This
Look, Slap Battles players aren't exactly known for their cooperation. The second you and a buddy start trying to coordinate a Reverse-loop in a public arena, a guy with the Killstreak glove is going to come over and ruin it. Or someone with God's Hand will just stop time because they think it's funny.
Pro tip: Use a small server. Or, better yet, find a friend with a private server. Private servers in Slap Battles are free. There is literally zero reason to struggle with this in a 14-person chaotic mess unless you enjoy the pain.

Common Mistakes People Make
I see this all the time. People think they can get Draw4 by just using the "Shukuchi" teleport or by reflecting a projectile. That’s not how it works. The code specifically looks for the Reverse vs. Reverse interaction.
Another huge mistake is timing the ability too early. The Reverse ability only lasts for a few seconds. If you activate it, and your opponent waits three seconds to slap you, your "shield" might have already worn off. You have to be aggressive. You both need to be running at each other like high-speed trains.
The Stats: Is It Actually Worth the Grind?
Let's talk numbers. Draw4 isn't the most powerful glove in the game by a long shot. If you're looking for raw power, you're better off sticking with something like Error or Overkill (if you're one of those people who spends Robux).
- Power: 52 (Decent, but won't one-shot anyone).
- Speed: 16 (Standard).
- Ability: "Wild Card."
The ability is the selling point. When it triggers, it’s arguably the most distracting thing you can do to another player. It covers their vision. In a game where positioning is everything, taking away someone's eyes for two seconds is basically a death sentence.
Dealing with the RNG Factor
Even after you get the glove, people get frustrated because the Draw4 effect doesn't happen every single time you slap someone. It’s a percentage-based trigger. You might slap someone five times and nothing happens. On the sixth slap, boom—they’re looking at a deck of cards while falling into the void.
Don't expect this to be a consistent killing machine. It’s a "troll" glove. It’s designed to make people tilt.

Advanced Tactics Once You Have It
Once you’ve finally earned the badge and equipped the glove from the red building in the lobby, don't just spam slaps. Use the psychological edge.
People are scared of Draw4 because they don't want to deal with the UI block. You can use this to zone people. Most players will back off if they see a Draw4 user coming toward them because they don't want to deal with the "mini-game" aspect of the fight. Use that space to breathe or to let your teammates (if you're playing in a group) move in for the kill.
Real Talk: The Community's Take
If you check the Slap Battles Wiki or the Discord, you’ll see a lot of debate about whether Draw4 needs a buff. Some players think the "mini-game" is too easy to beat. Others think it’s broken.
The reality? It’s balanced because of the effort it takes to get. It’s a mid-tier glove with a top-tier gimmick. It won't win you a 1v1 against a skilled "Flex" user, but it will definitely make you the most annoying person in the arena. And honestly, isn't that the point of Slap Battles?
What to do Next
If you've followed these steps and you still don't have the badge, check your Slap count. Make sure you are definitely using the Reverse glove and not something that looks similar like Diamond or Replica.
- Find a partner. Don't do this alone.
- Go to a Private Server. It's free and saves your sanity.
- Equip Reverse.
- Time the Slap. Use a countdown (3, 2, 1, Slap) to ensure both of you have the ability active.
- Check the Lobby. The Draw4 glove is located in the main lobby area—just look for the Uno-style card icon.
Once you have it, spend some time in the arena practicing the timing. You'll quickly see why it's a fan favorite for anyone who likes to play a bit more strategically—or just anyone who wants to see their opponents panic as a giant card blocks their view of the edge.
Go get that badge. The grind is short, but the satisfaction of hitting someone with a +4 is forever.
Actionable Next Steps:
Head into the Slap Battles lobby and verify you have at least 5,500 Slaps to equip the Reverse glove. Once equipped, join a free private server with a friend and perform the simultaneous "Reverse slap" to trigger the "What did you say?" badge immediately. After the badge notification appears, reset your character and claim the Draw4 glove from the glove stands.
