question about hardware bans
hi, sorry if this sounds like a stupid question.
i wanna come back to playing valorant after a long time (i’m HWID banned obviously)
i’ve heard people on this site occasionally say vanguard can flag / detect things like peripherals (monitor, etc…)
is this true? let’s say i was to buy a completely new pc, but kept all my same peripherals, would that get flagged by vanguard?
again sorry if the question sounds silly, i dont know much about how all of this works

peripherals is safe as long as you replaced the most important parts motherboard and all disk drives. better if you can replace as much as you can. Peripherals not really that important

VGK flags literally anything u can imagine, however a flag is not a ban.
I would recommend trying to spoof first, using a premium/trusted provider for example at first and if it works then you've saved urself a shitton of money.
Otherwise, you would need an entire new PC, and ur peripherals for the most part are fine.
Since if you only have those flags alone, they are not a major killer so do not worry.

Vanguard HWID Bans expire after 90 days, so you're free to play again.
You'll surely be flagged, but if you don't plan to cheat, you're fine.

Long story short: Yes.
They can detect you even if you change all your components, peripherals and monitors, which is why you should just let the professionals handle it.
