HWID spoofer
Also called: spoofer, hardware id spoofer
An HWID spoofer is a tool that changes the hardware identifiers your PC reports, so an anti-cheat reads a different machine than the one it banned. Those identifiers come from parts like your drives, motherboard and network adapters. An anti-cheat can record them when it bans you and block that hardware afterwards, so a new account on the same PC can be caught by the old ban.
A spoofer gives a clean account a clean machine to sit on. It does not unban your old account and it does not remove the ban record. Treat it as a fresh start rather than a repair, and expect to level a new account from zero.
Session spoofers and permanent spoofers
Spoofers come in two types, and the difference is how long the fake identity lasts. Trace 2.0 is session based by design. You run it once per session, after injecting your cheat, not before. It spoofs drives, RAM, monitors, network adapters, GPU and motherboard identifiers. 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.
Verse is the permanent option and works below Windows. It rewrites SMBIOS, UEFI variables, the TPM identity, EFUSE MAC and more, so the 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. ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte and ASRock are covered. Lenovo, Acer and Dell prebuilts currently are not. Verse sells in limited batches, so use the restock alert on its page.
Match the spoofer to the anti-cheat
Coverage decides which one you need. Trace 2.0 covers Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye titles, so Rust, Apex Legends, Arc Raiders, Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, Tarkov and DayZ are in range. It does not cover Ricochet or Vanguard. Those two run at kernel or driver level and read firmware identifiers a session spoofer does not touch, so BO7, Warzone and Valorant need Verse. Both tools sit in the HWID spoofer category.
Running one properly
Before either spoofer, turn off Memory Integrity under Core Isolation and disable Windows Defender. The setup guides walk through every toggle, and how HWID spoofers work covers the wider picture. After a Verse spoof, reboot fully instead of using sleep or fast startup, so the game reads the new firmware values. Trace 2.0 also has a seed system that keeps the same fake identity across sessions. That matters, because an anti-cheat that sees a new PC every day is more suspicious than one that sees the same PC every day.
A clean machine only helps if the account on it plays like a person. Aim smoothing at 5 or higher moves the aim like a hand instead of snapping like a machine. A visibility check stops the aimbot targeting enemies through walls, which keeps killcams clean. ESP only, with no aim assistance at all, is the lowest risk setup there is. Coverage moves, so check the status board before you load in, and ask support if your board or game is not listed above.
