Understanding HWID ban/ shadow bans

This is pretty good news to me if i understand it correctly.
I was part of the December 9/10th ban wave.

So i can still just go ahead and buy another account and play? ill just be shadow banned? Ill just wait out the time. No big deal to me.

Yes.

While HWID bans are pretty rare, they can happen. I would first create a new account if you can, check to see if it gets permanently banned to eliminate the possibility of a HWID ban before dropping however much money you plan spending to buy a new account.

Log into Warzone, since the games are unified. If you're HWID banned, you'll be permanently banned on Warzone.

Only way to know your are HWID banned.
If your account gets perma ban. Make a new blizzard account and start up the Cold War trail . Don’t buy full game yet. Play a couple matches online and if you get banned within a match or two without cheats your HWID is banned and you will need a spoofer and a another new account to play.

If you’re HWID banned, you’ll be banned immediately upon launching the game.

Playing one or two matches is only needed to test whether an account is shadowbanned after being permanently banned on another account.

I thought it took a bit of time for the process to go through the systems

Basically been looking through the internet after I was banned on faceit for cheating. I bought aimware and would cheat on MM because I was global and waiting for valorant to come out. I decided i wanted to play legit CS since my trust factor was just ruined and I was against cheaters. I close CS and the aimware through task manager and hop into a faceit match and get banned. I didnt think much of it besides it was a pain in the ass to buy a new account and have 48 hrs of playtime to register a faceit and play but i do it regardless and i get banned for ban evaison. Now i learn about HWID's spoofers etc.

I need to find a lifetime spoofer instead of buyong a new set up but i have some questions after i found this on another forum.

- New Mainboard (BIOS bans, MAC ban, serial ban)
- New HDD/SSD (serial ban)
- New router (mac ban)
- New Windows installation + key (random registry values and files)
+ (no costs)
- New public IPv4 and IPv6([Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]) (If restarting router doesnt work, ask provider for a new ip)
- Different details like name + payment details on registration in the league
- Dont login into old accounts like steam or discord etc.
- Use non cookie browsers for old private data like facebook or pages with your old nickname

- Dont login into old accounts like steam or discord etc.

the issue is i have 3 accounts 1 VAC'd and other game banned and i use them to play certain games like rust etc.
can i really never log into my old steam accounts again?
i just need a spoofer for faceit i will buy lifetime i just dont want to get scammed, this type of stuff is very intimidating to me tbh
thanks in advance

For starters, this is the wrong section. You should ask this on the CS:GO side of the forums.

As for a spoofer for faceit and changing PC hardware... long term, it’s going to be cheaper to sell your existing PC and buy another. The reason for this is that the spoofers that I know of which actually work for faceit run about $150-200 a month.

You can try to find a cheaper spoofer than the ones I know of if you want to use your existing rig. I know of two that actually work, but just because I don’t know of more doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.

I’d recommend posting in the CS:GO section to see if anyone knows of a cheaper alternative before committing to another PC. Just be cautious of random, fresh accounts giving you their Discord telling you to buy from them as they’re typically scammers.

Sometimes you can, most times you can't.
It's an individual instance.

We test thoroughly for INFINITE to see what games shadowban and which don't, HWID bans, permanent bans, etc. Almost every single time we received a permanent ban after the transitional merge, you get a shadowban on the other game. If you get a shadowban on Cold War, it'll transition to Warzone as well. There were a few times it didn't work that way, but most of the time it did.

The only time we did not see a transition of bans was Cold War to Modern Warfare and vice versa.
