EFT vs PUBG Anticheat

[Moonman3k]

Which is easier to get around, PUBG or EFT? They both use BE so I would think it shouldn't matter, but I am having a lot of trouble in PUBG. It seems that even after reinstalling windows, using a VPN, and the built in spoofer for Ancient PUBG cheese, I am still getting banned on new accounts. I really want to try out cheesing in EFT, but not if its going to be another waste of money/time.

EFT: BattlEye only. Game devs dont give a **** about your stats.
PUBG: BattlEye and multiple other anti cheats. Stats based detection. Detects aimbots and so on.

In PUBG you have a much harder time to stay unbanned. Especially free2play PUBG accounts will get clapped quickly if you get too many reports.

Do I have to reinstall windows after every ban on EFT?

No not really, but it's just common safe-practice to do it anyway. BE HWID bans just ban based off your disk drive serial numbers. So if you're RAID0 just create a new volume which will register as your serial number for your drives. HWID bans are random, so it's safe just to do a fresh reinstall with a new RAID array unless you got cracked accounts to test on.

How is it that restoring a system image (prior to steam/pubg were installed) is HWID detected, but doing a clean install is not? It seems that it is detecting info relevant to that specific OS installation. While reinstalling windows from scratch works, a quicker alternative is needed to keep PUBG cheesing still a thing

Because there's 2 different kind of bans for EFT. There's BE HWID bans which is just banning based off your disk drives, and BSG launcher HWID bans which bans a lot more info. Including your OS system installation time, OS product ID, motherboard, RAM, CPU serial numbers and some other WMI/smbios windows ****. It used to not let you login to the launcher at all before, but they changed it to where it does a delay ban up to 1-2 weeks before it bans you now.
