Understanding HWID ban/ shadow bans

Playmaker06 · 02/04/2021, 08:31

So my main account was hit by the last ban wave and was perma banned.. Started a new account and I am in shadowban lobbies. Takes forever to get into a game lobby on warzone and MP! After reading all these posts i want to clarify some things. Now after 14 days with this new account, ill be back to playing in the normal lobbies?? Obviously if I'm not using cheats on the new account.. I am also worried that I have an HWID ban. But that can't be the case right? Since i have been playing in matches without immediately getting banned again with my new account? Please help me thank you

Yes. 7-14 days and you’ll be able to play again in normal lobbies.

Hi guys im new to this forum and i need some help,

A friend of me was curious a month ago ant tried some hacks for warzone for 2 days and used it on a different account. Since the 2 days he never cheatrd again and his main account was perm banned. He tried to login with 2 accounts of me to check if his pc was banned and it was working fine. I tried hies account and his battle.net account was stil perm banned on my pc. Now 2 hours later after both of my accounts are shadow banned.

Now the questions.

Are my accounts shadow banned because i logged into his account and my pc is in their blacklist to. Or are my accounts obly blacklisted because he logfed with my accounts on his pc?

And Do i get my accounts back after a couple of days. And is my hwid also now on their blacklist?

Thx for helping me

After 7-14 days, the shadow's will expire and you'll be good to go.

If you're HWID banned you'd be banned shortly after launching the game.

The friend of me who got a permaban on his . Is he able to create a new account and when he got a shadowban it's also gone after 14 days, or is he permitted to use a hwid spooler?

A spoofer is only needed if you're HWID banned.

How to know if you're HWID banned? Because he is perma banned and when he create a new account or log into someone else accounts its getting shadowbanned immediately.

Or do you mean a hwid ban is when you get perm ban immediately

I was perma banned with the most recent EO ban wave, and after creating a new bnet account and downloading Warzone again, I'm now shadow banned (350ms ping). Rather than wait the 7-14 days, I found multiple topics on this forum that by using a spoofer I could go around this. I paid for a 30 day spoofer from Infinite for MW/Warzone, followed the instructions (enabled virtualization, disabling any anti-virus and windows defender etc), but still can't seem to load into any lobbies. Any advice on how to proceed with using Infinite to circumvent my shadow ban?

So 2 of my main accounts got banned but i can play cold war on them, I made a new account and it is instantly shadow banned does this mean i am hwid banned?

You can see it in your Battle.net launcher right next to the "Play" Button. It should say that you're permanently banned. If this is the case, you're HWID banned.

If this immediately occurs on other accounts too after playing the tutorial (that's what happened to me).

If you don't have this notification and you can still queue with 350ms lobbies - well in that case you're shadowed.

No. Means you’re HWID flagged. It’ll expire after 7-14 days as long as you don’t cheat.
