This guide explains how to use HWID Spoofer to bypass hardware ID (HWID) bans in online games protected by anti-cheat systems like Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), BattlEye (BE), and Ricochet.
It covers pre-spoof cleaning, full hardware ID randomization, and post-spoof best practices to ensure a clean environment for new accounts.
📋 Overview
Many modern games enforce HWID bans that persist across accounts and system reinstalls. These bans track hardware identifiers such as:
Motherboard serial numbers and BIOS UUIDs
Disk drive volume serials
Network adapter MAC addresses
Peripheral IDs (e.g., monitor EDIDs, USB serials)
Even after reinstalling Windows or using a VPN, these identifiers can trigger instant bans. HWID Spoofer addresses this by anonymizing all critical hardware fingerprints and removing residual traces from your system.
✅ Prerequisites
Before starting, ensure you have:
HWID Spoofer: Latest version downloaded from the official site
Administrator Access: Required for hardware modification
VPN Service: Optional but recommended to reset your IP address
Fresh Game Account: Avoid using previously banned credentials
🛠 Step 1: Prepare Your System
Backup Important Data: While HWID Spoofer is designed to be safe, it’s recommended to create a system restore point.
Uninstall Banned Games: Remove any banned games from your system. Use tools like Revo Uninstaller to ensure all residual files are deleted.
Disconnect External Devices: Unplug non-essential peripherals (e.g., USB drives, controllers) to minimize fingerprint complexity.
🧹 Step 2: Clean Residual Traces
Residual logs and cached data can betray a new hardware profile to anti-cheats. HWID Spoofer’s Cleaner Module removes these traces.
Launch HWID Spoofer and navigate to Cleaner Module.
Select the following options:
Delete game logs and cached configs (EAC, BE, Ricochet)
