Rust Ban Question

01/13/2024 01:04 Gman6567#1
So I play legit on my main account that has a couple skins I dont want to loose. But I really wanna try a radar cheat on another account. Can I log out of my main and swap to the other and try the radar? Even if I were to get banned as long as I dont login to my main its fine right? Then I could just hwid spoof and reinstall windows and play on my main again??? or no?

Technically yes, but I'd advice against it if you care about your main nevertheless. I'd consider setting up a 2nd pc if I were in your position. Or I guess it depends how much that main means to you..

This all depends on the specific updates of EAC and the spoofer used. Most permanent spoofers only address a fraction of what EAC actually retrieves. If EAC decides to execute bans based on these identifiers, then both your accounts are doomed.

A second issue surfaces when EAC decide to update their HWID mechanism by adding new identifiers. Their protocol usually involves implementing a new identifier, monitoring the results for a while, typically a week or two, and, if no false positives are detected, then execute bans based on this new data.

Considering these risks, we would recommend using a dual system if you care about your main account. While these events are rare, they have happened in the past, and could lead to the loss of your main account.
