neither

when turning firewall off anti virus ect, how can you protect your pc? when spoofing is it a one time thing or do you have to do it every time you play, can you use the spoofer then turn all the security settings back on?

My ban is over.
Im thinking about to get new cheat (good provider) and play legit on my main ....
That’s why I asked you that. Even if my acc got shadowban before like mine.
Is that alright to inject any chair on it ?
I mean ... I don’t care if drops any detection and I get perm ban as longs as I can play again after 7-14 days with new acc. Lol

Dont cheat man. Yesterday while i was installing Battle eye asked me if i was agreed to collect from my pc serial numbers and background processes. First time if you get caught cheating your system is flagged and they give you some kind of second chance by banning your account and shadow the new one. Thats why even after format or new drive still get a SB. Every anticheat system these days collect your serials. Just play the game for fun. Isnt worth spending your money for nothing.

A HWID ban means any new account will be instantly perma banned.

A hardware ID flag means any account you play on for approximately 1 month will be instantly shadow banned.

Try playing around 12am PST after the 7th day. You should be able to find lobbies.

You are right. So they dont HWID ban everyone. I think they give a second chance if you get caught first time. What do you think?

Hi guys I’ve recently swapped from ps5 to pc and the guy I bought the pc from got perma banned for aimbotting...

anyway I logged into battle.net and my 7th prestige account is shadowbanned will this ban be from the time I first logged in on my account on the pc ? Or from the time he made a new account and tried getting on..

Also shall I reinstall windows 10 ? Or will that reset my shadowban ? Thanks in advance

My SB expired and i play normal 2 days now without cheat or spoofer. Is there any possibility to SB me again even i dont cheat anymore? Because i want to buy the game.

I got shadowbanned on my main account and all other new accounts on that PC get shadowbanned too. It means my PC is HWID tagged.

Today is the 7th day and I know that my account will be un-shadowbanned at 12:00 am PST

I also know that buying the game using $59.99 will get that account un-shadowbanned.
But, I wonder 2 things:
1. If I play the un-shadowbanned account on this HWID tagged PC, will I get shadowbanned again?

2. If I buy the game and play on this HWID tagged PC, will I get a permanent ban? (because shadowban never applies for paid accounts)

Let me know where you got all this information from so that I can make fun of that person for being an actual ******.

For starters, buying the game will not remove a shadow ban *****. That's the dumbest thing I've seen all day.

Second, your shadow doesn't expire on a certain time. So not sure where you got midnight from.

Third, again, I don't know what kind of drugs the person was on when they told you paid accounts don't get shadow bans, but that is false.

Fourth, if you play on a PC that is currently shadow banned without a spoofer, the new accounts will also be shadow banned.

Thank you for the quick response.

1. I played with a group of pro gamers, they join tournaments and stuff hosted locally (playing on public cafe internet PC daily in front of audience, unable to use any macros, softwares, etc.)

2. Many times, they get shadowbanned due to being good at 5+ KDA. A full game purchase (no battlepass needed) was 100% to instantly remove their shadowban in 2020.

3. I'm good friend with one guy and played with him casually, however their group has been saying I'm a cheater because I always refuse to play professionally like them while my skills look like 3+ KDA. Also refusing to meet and play with them in real life. (in short, I use EO without them knowing)

4. In 2020, two guys got perm ban and they emailed Activision to check it. They got unbanned after ~10 days, but the banned PC (the ones having HWID tagged) was having problems: Giving shadowbans to any free users and permanent bans to paid accounts. It is a big game center, so they just stayed away from those two PC and took a long time to email to Activision.

5. I was using EO for 1 years and got shadowbanned quickly. I purchased the game and it immediately removed my shadowban. Then I wrote an AHK to automatically going to the game, move a little, shoot a little to prevent being AFK and die. My KDA dropped from 4 to 0.6.

6. Since 0.6 KDA, I never got banned (no shadow, too) with that paid account until recent banwave in Feb 2021. I was obvious as shit in MP to farm for Damascus, not as much as rage but in death cam my scope snapped to people, hard stuck to people, killed through flash, smoke, triggerbot that shot people 0.1s after they left wall, ADS before meeting an enemy, you name it...still not banned until EO was detected in Feb 2021 due to me having the habit of leaving the game open with EO, running the AHK to auto die every night. (I had some months stopped playing so I guess that's why I wasn't banned during 2020 when EO was detected a few times)

7. Losing contact with the pro group, I made a new account and instantly got shadowbanned. I waited 7 days for one to expires, playing it with EO and just don't have a problem at all until I logged in another shadowbanned account of another EO user (he told me to check if logging into a shadowbanned acc from a different PC will still have the shadowban-OMEGALUL), and instantly my account got shadowed too. I aware that my new account triggered a shadow from logging in to a shadowbanned account.

8. I waited 7 days again (today is the 7th day) and still wondering if in 2021, purchasing full game will remove my shadowban, and if yes, will I get a permanent ban playing on a HWID tagged PC (I couldn't confirm the story of "paid account getting perm ban on HWID tagged PC" in point 4. above)

But thank you for your reply, I think if I purchase now I would not get my shadow removed, and playing on a HWID tagged PC will give me another shadowban, not permanent bans. Perm ban only happen if EO is detected, again. From what I read here and in another forum, only devs of cheats who have like 500 accounts shadowed would get a HWID ban. Some even had 200+ acc perm banned and not HWID banned at all.

Honestly, after reading #2, I refused to read the rest because of how outrageous those claims are.
Egor, myself, and KGB have gotten K's of accounts (each) banned while testing, and none of what you said has ever worked.
We tried all purchase theories -
*License purchases
*Content purchases (ops and guns)
*COD point purchases
Nothing impacted how long you could cheat, nor had any weight into how shadows were reviewed.
It's simply not how the AC works to put it lightly.
Additionally, asking in our community, everyone is in agreement that you're full of shit and nobody has ever had a shadow ban removed that way, lol.

Next, on a dozen of my accounts, I range from 10-15KD and none of them are shadow banned, so your friends aren't being shadowed per their KD.

We definitely needed a good laugh though, so thanks for that, but the only way you're removing your shadow is to either spoof on a new account or skip a spoofer all together and change your HWID yourself via regedit, raid0, or VM.

If you want to go the spoof route as I'm 100% certain you cannot bypass it yourself per those hilarious claims above, infsoft.dev/MWAB and join the telegram, we'll get you sorted.

Edit: Talked to Rush about this purchase theory, and he said it worked for him when he was using HxD, which would make sense as it is not report based and it's based on unknown memory which can't be cross referenced during a review, but for cheaters being reported, this has never worked.

Nevertheless, I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money. So if you want to try, by all means.
At the end of the day, you can refund your purchase and wont be out any money.

Well it means I was wrong.

Thank you for your clarification.

Yo -0x41^4-,

Would you happen to know why I can't play using a HWID spoofer whilst shadow banned?

For context, I used x22 hacks and immediately after injecting it, I was shadow banned. I didn't even get to use use it once in a game, I was just immediately shadowed after I started it up once. I wasn't using a HWID spoofer before hand which was a mistake on my part, but I saw your previous post saying you can play while shadow banned if you use a spoofer. Would you happen to know why I'm still shadow banned after spoofing?

It's sad that it says the hack is working on the site but in effect is still actually detected..
