The Silver Surfer surfboard (officially listed as The Surfer) in Blg42598's Roblox game Infinity Gauntlet | Thanos Simulator is a flight mobility item that replaced Gungnir in Update V2.9.4. It allows players to bypass ground obstacles, fly across the map, and traverse high-elevation parkour sections while keeping their primary weapons active.
How to Get the Surfer Board and Pricing
The Surfer is obtainable exclusively as a game pass from the official game store:
- Item Name: The Surfer
- Price: 750 Robux
- Official Description: Once equipped, players can enable flight with the board at any time.
Unlike standard progression gear unlocked through badges or temple puzzles, The Surfer does not require finding hidden relics or defeating bosses. Once purchased, the board automatically equips to your character inventory.
Flight Controls and Movement Mechanics
The surfboard is built primarily for rapid map traversal. Flying is toggled directly through jump inputs, and holding forward triggers high-speed acceleration.
| Action | Input / Trigger | Behavior | Cooldown / Damage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Activate Flight | Press Space twice | Automatically mounts the board and begins hovering | None / N/A |
| Steering | W, A, S, D | Manually controls flight direction in midair | None / N/A |
| Acceleration | Hold W for 2+ seconds | Builds forward speed and emits a white neon light trail | None / N/A |
| Collision / Impact | Crash into entities or structures | Creates a scaling nuke visual effect and flings enemies back | None / Knockback only |
During acceleration, steering becomes significantly more sensitive and difficult to steer precisely. While the board has no native offensive energy attacks, flying into enemy mobs knocks them backward, clearing space on the ground.
Avatar and Gender Settings
Players can adjust the cosmetic appearance of their character while riding the surfboard using the in-game settings menu:
- Open the game settings menu.
- Locate the Surfer user gender toggle under the configuration options.
- Select between Male, Female (which adds female hair to the metallic surfer model), or select the X toggle to keep your current Roblox avatar model active on the board.
Combat Compatibility and Map Utility
The Surfer functions as a passive mobility layer rather than an exclusive held weapon. It remains fully compatible with other equipped gear:
- Weapon Stacking: You can keep The Surfer active while holding and activating weapons like the Infinity Gauntlet, Mjolnir, Stormbreaker, or the Universal Weapon.
- Grinding Setup: Players can hover over enemy spawn zones or Templar spawns while triggering weapon abilities (such as Mjolnir's fragment attack or gauntlet beams) to farm kills and fragments without taking ground melee hits.
- Parkour Traversal: The flight mechanic allows players to fly directly toward high locations, such as the Time Tower, Space Stone platforms, or bypassing conveyor hazards around the Heart of Ymir in World 5. However, fast-moving flight controls can make precision landing on narrow puzzle triggers tricky.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Silver Surfer board deal damage to enemies?
No. Official wiki data and player testing confirm the board has no direct damage output or active combat skills. Colliding with enemies at high speed produces a visual blast effect and physically flings targets back, but damage must be dealt using separate weapons like Mjolnir or the Infinity Gauntlet.
Can you use the Infinity Gauntlet while flying on the board?
Yes. The Surfer is fully compatible with secondary weapons. You can fly on the board while holding the Infinity Gauntlet and firing stone abilities or setting up area-of-effect attacks.
Why is Gungnir missing from the shop?
The Surfer replaced Gungnir in Update V2.9.4. While Gungnir was removed from its original shop spot to make room for the surfboard pass, the developer announced plans to retain Gungnir as an unlockable badge weapon.
