Question about HWID bans

If you are EAC HWID banned on rust on your steam account, then you get new PC, and new steam account.

Then you use your old steam account on the new PC to play games that are EAC protected like Apex Legends or Fortnite.

Then then log into your new account to play Rust again.

Will you get banned on Rust again on the new account?

Are Rust HWID bans spreadable from other EAC protected games?

HWID Bans are usually specific to the game on which the offense happened. a Rust HWID ban will not spread or affect you from playing other EAC games :handsdown:

So just to clarify, even if I log in with my old account on the new pc and as long as I don’t launch rust, my new account with rust will not get banned right?

Remember some servers do IP ban. so using a new PC is not enough. I dont recommend logging in old account as well

Can I log in with the old account but only to play Apex Legends (Which is EAC protected). I’m not logging in the old account and opening Rust again.

Or will this risk my Rust on my new account getting banned?

HWID bans are not spreadable to other EAC games, fun fact as well EAC on RUST acts quite differently from FN and APEX.
So no worries at all bossman

You could do that, and it wont affect any other games.
Not even ur new rust account.

PS: Rust does not really leave any software traces after a HWID ban btw

Aside from HWID and IP bans, server admins get sus with new accounts too in rust
