HWID Spoofers

GCS Cheats sells 2 HWID spoofers, tools that replace the hardware identifiers an anti-cheat records when it issues a hardware ban (motherboard and disk serials, MAC address, GPU and system IDs) with cleaned values before the game loads. Partial spoofers that miss identifiers specific to one anti-cheat are the commonest cause of failed re-entry, temporary is the safer choice over permanent, and Vanguard, EAC, BattlEye and RICOCHET each need a different approach.

In plain EnglishThis page lists 2 HWID spoofers. They can hide your PC's hardware ID. The cheapest costs about $3.99 for 1 day. After you pay, your key shows on screen straight away, so you can start in a minute or two.

What a hardware ban records

An HWID spoofer changes the hardware identifiers an anti-cheat records when it bans a machine: motherboard and disk serials, MAC address, GPU identifiers and various system IDs. A good spoofer replaces all of them before the game and its anti-cheat load. One that misses an identifier a particular anti-cheat checks is the most common reason a return after a hardware ban fails.

Which games ban hardware

Not every game needs one. Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Call of Duty, Escape from Tarkov, Battlefield 6, Marvel Rivals and Arena Breakout ban machines as well as accounts. A new account alone will not get you back in. Rust, DayZ and the ARK games issue game bans on the account instead, and a spoofer does not help there. The anti-cheat database lists the ban type for every game we track.

Temporary or permanent spoofing

A temporary spoofer changes the identifiers for the current session and resets on reboot. You run it before each session. A permanent one writes changes that survive a reboot, which is convenient but harder to undo if something goes wrong. Temporary is the safer choice for most people. Either way, check that the spoofer lists the anti-cheat that banned you: Vanguard, EAC, BattlEye and Ricochet each check different identifiers.

What is an HWID spoofer and do I actually need one?

An HWID spoofer changes the hardware fingerprints that games and anti-cheat systems collect from your PC. When you receive a hardware ban, the anti-cheat logs identifiers from your machine (motherboard serial, disk serials, GPU ID, MAC address, and others) and flags them so any new account from that same hardware is automatically banned on login. A spoofer intercepts the Windows APIs that return these identifiers and replaces them with randomised values. To the anti-cheat, your machine appears completely new. If you've never been hardware banned, you don't necessarily need one immediately, but it's a safety net that prevents a ban from permanently affecting your ability to play. HWID spoofers are compatible with all major anti-cheat systems including Vanguard, EAC, BattlEye, VAC, Ricochet, and NetEase Game Security, a single spoofer subscription covers your full game library simultaneously. Running a spoofer proactively before any ban occurs is increasingly common among players who use cheats regularly, since it means a ban never interrupts your ability to create a clean new account immediately.

What hardware identifiers does the spoofer actually change?

A good spoofer changes every identifier that anti-cheat systems are known to collect: SMBIOS data (motherboard manufacturer, product name, serial, UUID), disk drive serial numbers for all HDDs, SSDs, and NVMe drives, GPU adapter UUID and device ID, network adapter MAC addresses for all interfaces, Windows machine GUID (stored in registry), Windows volume serial number, CPU CPUID serial flag, BIOS version identifiers, and monitor EDID data in some implementations. Coverage needs to be complete because a single un-spoofed identifier can re-flag you even if everything else is changed. Anti-cheat systems are constantly expanding the identifiers they collect, newer implementations also check TPM chip serial numbers, Bluetooth adapter addresses, USB controller identifiers, and installed font hashes. GCS spoofer products are updated when new identifier collection methods are identified in anti-cheat updates, ensuring the coverage stays current rather than relying on a static list of legacy identifiers that may be only partial protection against modern anti-cheat systems.

What's the difference between a temporary and permanent spoofer?

Temporary spoofers apply randomised identifiers only during the active session, reboot your PC and everything returns to normal hardware values. Permanent spoofers write new values to firmware or persistent storage locations that survive reboots. Temporary spoofers are generally safer for ongoing use because each session starts with fresh randomised identifiers, there's no permanent modification that can be forensically analysed, and they can be updated to handle new anti-cheat detection methods with a simple software update. Permanent spoofers are useful for specific use cases but carry higher risk if the anti-cheat system ever scans for firmware anomalies. Both types are available. Check individual product descriptions for which type they implement.

Does the spoofer need to be running every time I play?

Yes. For temporary spoofers you need to run it before launching the game each session, because the hardware identifier substitution only persists while the software is active. Anti-cheat systems like Vanguard check hardware identifiers during their initialisation phase before the game even starts, so the spoofer must be active before you launch anything. Creating a desktop shortcut to run the spoofer first before your game launcher simplifies the workflow. For permanent spoofers the identifiers persist through reboots, but you should still check that the spoofer software is up to date before each session in case the anti-cheat has updated its detection methods.

Which games is the spoofer compatible with?

Spoofers available in our store are tested against the hardware detection implementations of all major anti-cheat systems including: Vanguard (Valorant), VAC (CS2, L4D2), EAC (Apex, Rust, Fortnite, Hunt Showdown, DBD, ARK, The Finals), BattlEye (EFT, PUBG, DayZ, Hunt Showdown, SCUM), Ricochet (Warzone, COD), and NetEase Game Security (Marvel Rivals). A single spoofer subscription protects you across all these games simultaneously. If you have a specific game not on this list, check the product description or ask in the Discord before purchasing to confirm compatibility.

What should I do immediately after getting hardware banned?

The correct sequence: (1) Purchase and install a spoofer before creating any new account, do not create the new account on an un-spoofed machine. (2) Run the spoofer and confirm it's active. (3) Create the new account using a different email address with no connection to your banned account. (4) Optionally use a VPN for the initial account creation for additional separation. (5) Don't add your banned account as a friend or link any shared payment methods immediately. (6) If you're returning to cheating, use more conservative settings than the ones that got the original account banned, rage settings on account after account is an expensive cycle. If you're unsure whether a hardware ban was issued at all, check the game's row in the anti-cheat database first: whether a game bans hardware depends on the game, not on the anti-cheat brand (Rust and Valorant both run kernel anti-cheats, and only Valorant bans hardware), and VAC bans the account only. After spoofing, make sure a fresh test account is not flagged on login before you pay for the game again.

Can a spoofer fix a shadow ban or soft ban?

Shadow bans are typically tracked by account history, IP address, and behavioural data rather than hardware identifiers specifically. A spoofer alone won't fix an IP-based soft ban, you'd also need a VPN or residential proxy. However, if the shadow ban has progressed to a hardware-flagged state where new accounts from your machine are being auto-flagged, the spoofer handles the hardware component and a VPN handles the IP component together. For straightforward shadow bans where no hardware flag has been issued yet, simply creating a new account with a clean play history on the same machine (without spoofing) often works. The combination of an HWID spoofer plus a residential VPN (residential IPs are significantly less likely to be flagged than datacenter IPs) provides the most complete new-identity package when recovering from both a hardware flag and an IP flag simultaneously. For Warzone and Apex specifically, where shadow bans are common, this combination is the standard recovery approach recommended in the Discord community.

Is it safe to run a spoofer alongside antivirus software?

Spoofers are kernel-mode drivers that load at a deep system level, Windows Defender and most antivirus programs flag them as suspicious due to this behaviour even when the software is clean. This is a false positive from the antivirus's heuristic scanning rather than actual malware. Standard practice is to add the spoofer's installation folder and executable to your antivirus exclusion list, or temporarily disable real-time protection during setup. The driver loads before the game and anti-cheat initialise, so Windows Defender's real-time protection being active during gameplay (after initial setup) isn't a problem as long as the initial installation was done with it excluded. Third-party antivirus software like Malwarebytes, Kaspersky, and Bitdefender are sometimes more aggressive than Windows Defender and may re-quarantine files even after exclusion lists are set. If a third-party AV is causing persistent issues, temporarily disabling it (not just pausing it) during first-time setup and then re-enabling it for ongoing use is the recommended workflow. The spoofer files themselves are clean and do not contain any actual malware. The heuristic triggers are based on the type of system access they require, not any malicious content.
