So before I buy new hardware, if an account get shadowed after 2-3 games and perm banned a day later than I'm hwid banned right?

Question. One year ago before CW my main account was ban on MW and warzone.

Since then I played CW all year legit.

When I played vanguard beta. I also play legit and had no shadow ban etc. even being banned previously. I know it that other accounts can’t play. I even though I see many who were ban had ban on the vanguard. So am I lucky? So I’m safe to buy and play vanguard?

Usually, HWID bans don't happen on the first permanent ban, but you never know what measures they're taking now so I'd be careful before playing vanguard and possibly losing the account you paid for.

Depends who you use.
EO users and unlockers are more common to issue HWID bans first time.

Hmm, that makes sense. They don't really like EO and people ******* with their money so yeah.

Battlelog is super invasive.

I know this is old but could you provide your sources with evidence that it’s that invasive? It’s been 7 months I never reinstalled windows or anything and have ran virus scans and clean ups. So I was just wondering why you always say this?

[Mansprinker]

I'm lost on if I'm hardware banned or not. I did a fresh windows install and logged into warzone with a fresh account. The account got shadow banned and a day later its permabanned. So am I hardware banned or is it possible I got banned because I was using an account I bought?

[simplerealistic]

All shadowbans I have received have always been account based and hwid based

never had to use a spoofer in my life for cod

if you’re getting shadow banned on multiple accounts most likely you got game banned on one

Hey guys. So here's 1 for ye. I'll try make it as simple as possible.

- I started cheating on warzone maybe 10 months ago when the whole community seemed to be haha. I started cheating with no spoofer on my main account(I was dumb) I was banned after maybe 3 months.
Then I done my research and started cheating with a spoofer. Anyway, I stopped playing warzone maybe 4 months ago because I didn't even want to cheat anymore and didnt want to play legit either because of other hackers haha.

So this is where my issue kicks in.

I play on PC, but I also have an Xbox series x that I played warzone on VERY RARLY(and legit of course)

So now that vanguard is out. I bought it and downloaded it for PC(using my legit Xbox account and email) and the next day when I wanted to play, I was Perma banned.
I assume I am HWID banned on my PC so even playing legit, I got banned.

So I decided **** it I'll just get a refund and play on Xbox instead. So being an idiot I then downloaded vanguard for my Xbox series x on the same account/email. When I tried to play, I was perma banned haha.

I realised I should of remember that I was banned on that account on PC, so I was going to be banned on that account on Xbox also.

So I got another refund thank ***.

So 2 days ago I made a fresh new account/email and I downloaded vanguard.
It worked. I played for 2 days(legit) and now today when tried to play, I was Perma banned again.

My question is: did I get a HWID ban on my pc AND my Xbox??

And if so, what are my options to be able to play vanguard again?

Your post is all over the place.

Did you get banned playing on your Xbox only while using the new account and email?

Ya i know haha its really hard to explain. but ill try make it straight forward.

So i had a call of duty account for xbox live(legit account)

Then i had a different account for PC(hacking account)

I got caught hacking on my pc account(perma ban)
Then i started using spoofers and hacking on alt accounts on pc.
Then i stopped hacking because i got bored of it.

Fast forward maybe 4 months, vanguard get released.
And i decide to start playing on pc again(but legit for good this time)

So i loaded up the only account i have onto my pc(which is my xbox account)
The next day i get banned from vanguard on my pc.

so i say **** it, im just going to play on xbox from now on.
So i buy Vanguard on xbox now too(but i forget my account was banned because i used it on my pc) so it wouldnt even let me load the game up.

So i make a brand new account and buy xbox gold and i buy vanguard again.
Everything is going great and i play for a full day. But 2 days later when i try to load up, it tells me im perma banned.

So my question is. are both of my consoles(pc and xbox) HWID banned? or whats going on.

Today i bought an alt account on my pc and im able to ploay 1 game of warzone before im shawowbanned(350 ping).

So im struggling to find out. What exact ban do i have atm and will i ever be able to play vanguard and warzone again legit!!

Hope this makes more sense

Try using a cleaner like Cynical to remove the HWID ban, it may or may not work for everyone though, also don't sell the HWID banned PC to your friend if they play Warzone or other games HWID affected, that'd be a really ****** thing to do.
