HWID Spoofers

Hardware banned? Here is how the spoofers differ

A HWID ban follows your PC, not your account, so a new account alone will not fix it. Both our spoofers rewrite the serials that anti-cheats fingerprint. The difference is how long the change lasts and which anti-cheats they cover. Trace 2.0 is the one to start with: it spoofs in one click, runs each session and covers every Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye title we sell. Verse is the permanent, firmware-level option for the harder anti-cheats, and it sells out, so check its stock before you plan around it.

What is a HWID spoofer?

When an anti-cheat bans you, it usually records more than the account. It fingerprints the machine: disk serials, motherboard and BIOS identifiers, the MAC address of your network adapter, GPU and RAM serials, monitor IDs, and on newer systems the TPM. Log in on a fresh account from the same PC and the anti-cheat recognises the hardware and bans that account too, often within minutes. A HWID spoofer replaces those identifiers with new, consistent values so the machine looks like a different PC. It does not unban the old account and it does not remove the ban record. It gives a clean account a clean machine to play on.

The full walkthrough of how the fingerprint is built and what a spoofer changes is in our guide to how HWID spoofers work.

Which spoofer covers which anti-cheat

Ricochet and Vanguard both run at kernel or driver level and read the firmware identifiers that a session spoofer does not touch, which is why only Verse covers them. Javelin bans are handled differently depending on the account, so message support with your situation before you buy a spoofer for Battlefield 6.

Each game above links to a page covering how that title bans, how to tell an account ban from a hardware ban, and which of the two spoofers applies.

Trace 2.0: temporary by design

Trace 2.0 is the best-value option. You run it once per session, after injecting your cheat, and it spoofs drives, RAM, monitors, network adapters, GPU and motherboard identifiers. A seed system lets you keep the same fake identity across sessions, which matters: an anti-cheat that sees a new PC every day is more suspicious than one that sees the same PC every day. Nothing is written to firmware, so a reboot returns your real hardware. That makes it the safe first purchase if you have never spoofed before, and it is the spoofer we recommend alongside any Easy Anti-Cheat or BattlEye cheat. Start on the Trace 2.0 product page and follow the Trace 2.0 setup guide the first time.

Verse: permanent, firmware level

Verse works below Windows. It rewrites SMBIOS, UEFI variables, the TPM identity, EFUSE MAC and more, so you spoof once and the new identity survives every restart. Its SMBIOS fixer picks from over 1,250 real motherboard profiles, so the spoofed board is one that actually exists rather than a random string that a kernel anti-cheat can flag. That depth is what lets it cover Vanguard and Ricochet.

Two things to check before you buy Verse. First, motherboard support: ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte and ASRock boards are covered, while Lenovo, Acer and Dell prebuilts currently are not. Second, stock: Verse is sold in limited batches, and when it shows out of stock on the Verse product page the restock alert there is the fastest way to catch the next drop.

Windows 11 and setup notes

• Turn off Memory Integrity under Core Isolation and disable Windows Defender before you run either spoofer. The setup guides walk through every toggle.
• Run Trace 2.0 after your cheat is injected, not before, and keep the same seed if you want a stable identity.
• After a Verse spoof, reboot fully rather than using sleep or fast startup, so the game reads the new firmware values.
• Spoofing does not clean a banned account. Use a fresh account, and give it some clean play time before you turn features on. Our guide on how spoofers work covers the order of operations.
• Check the live status page on the day you play. A spoofer that is updating is not one to rely on.

Fortnite, Rust and Arc Raiders bans

These three bring in most of the hardware ban questions we get. Fortnite runs both Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye and hands out hardware bans quickly, so a Fortnite ban almost always means a spoof is needed before a new account is safe. Rust bans through Easy Anti-Cheat and its ban waves land in batches, so many players discover the hardware flag only when the second account goes. Arc Raiders also runs Easy Anti-Cheat and, because it is an extraction game, a ban costs the stash as well as the account. In all three cases Trace 2.0 is the right first purchase, and the same session-based routine works for Apex Legends and Rainbow Six Siege.
