Do shadow bans lead to perma?

I'm ID banned but tried a non working spoofer on a new account. After 1 game I got shadow banned. Will that account get perma'd after 2 weeks? I just got a working spoofer and can play again on WZ, but don't want to lose vanguard.

Shadow bans either lift or lead to a perma ban, and it all depends on what you've used.

If you were using a UD cheat & were not rage cheating, it will lift.

If you were using something DT or were rage cheating, I imagine it won't.

In general though shadow bans are meant to lift. It's COD's way of appearing successful against cheaters. Why implement a functional anti-cheat that bans confirmed cheaters forever when they can just shadow ban the top 5% of players every week and appear solid to the bottom 95%?

It's an illusion, just like everything else Activision sells.

The issue is that it was just a freshly bought account. I didn't even use cheats on it but I've been ID banned for cheating on the PC. The spoofer I used didn't work was the issue. So since they can probably detect it's the same ip or something I hope they don't ban :/

Had a similar issue the last few days. Only use ESP, play legit as poss - very careful.

I think my HWID got banned early last year from using an unlocker.
Been using Ring1 since with no problem but recently my account was getting a shadow over and over again.

So i was recommended to use a Spoofer (rage4fun). That was working good for a few weeks - avoided getting the shadows but on Friday i got a shadow. Checked on the Activision support on Saturday and couldn't log in. Checked Battle and account perm banned.

I think since the latest update, Ricochet is detecting Spoofers better. The Spoofer i was using had a status of "updating" on Saturday, so i suspect they noticed the issues.

Your HWID is flagged, you won't get perma banned if you dont go rage hacking on it. Any account you sign into will automatically be shadow banned.

The ban will likely lift. Why are you buying pre-made accounts. Those stocks get made with identifiers that are all matching for like 100+ accounts & they ban wave those to pad numbers & get rid of them often.

Make your own accounts maybe with an IP change first. Router login -> change one MAC address number by 2 i.e. 2 -> 4 and save, reboot router. Check IP before & after ipchicken.com
