What Is an HWID Spoofer? Getting Back In After an HWID Ban
An HWID spoofer changes the hardware IDs a game anti-cheat reads, so you can play again on a new account after a hardware ban. How it works and which to pick.
An HWID spoofer is a tool that changes the hardware identifiers your PC reports to a game's anti-cheat, so a machine that was hardware banned looks like a different computer. It is how you get back into a game after an HWID ban: you start a new account on the spoofed PC and play again, without buying new hardware.
What is an HWID ban?
Anti-cheats do not only ban accounts. Many also record identifiers from your hardware, such as drive and motherboard serial numbers or your network adapter's MAC address, and then block the machine itself. Any new account you make on that PC is caught straight away. That is a hardware ban, usually called an HWID ban.
Games whose anti-cheats use hardware bans include League of Legends and Valorant (Vanguard), Call of Duty (Ricochet), and games protected by Easy Anti-Cheat or BattlEye.
How does an HWID spoofer work?
The spoofer replaces the identifiers the anti-cheat reads with new ones, so it sees hardware it has never banned.
| Identifier | What it is | Handled by Titan's spoofers |
|---|---|---|
| Drive serials | The serial numbers of your SSD or hard drive | Yes |
| Motherboard serials | IDs stored on the board and in its firmware | Yes |
| TPM | A security chip in newer PCs that some anti-cheats read as a fixed ID | Yes, with the TPM bypass |
| MAC address | Your network adapter's ID, used for bans at network level | Yes, with MAC spoofing |
What a spoofer does and doesn't do
- It lets you play again on a PC that was hardware banned.
- It works on a new account: the banned account stays banned, because that ban is stored on the publisher's side, not on your PC.
- It does not make cheating safe. A new account can still be banned for what it does, so the habits in bans and risk still apply.
HWID Spoofer or One Click Spoofer?
Titan sells two spoofers. Both include the TPM bypass and MAC spoofing; they differ in who sets them up and how long the new identity lasts.
| HWID Spoofer | One Click Spoofer | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Our team installs it for you | You run it yourself with one button |
| New IDs after a reboot | Stay | Reset; press the button again |
| Keys | One-time or lifetime | 30 days or lifetime |
| Windows or BIOS changes | None for you to do | None |
Pick the HWID Spoofer if you want it set up for you and done once. Pick the One Click Spoofer if you would rather run it yourself whenever you play.

Questions people ask
Will a spoofer unban my account?
No. Account bans are kept by the publisher. The spoofer gets your PC back into the game; you play on a new account.
Do I have to reinstall Windows or flash my BIOS?
No. Neither Titan spoofer asks you to reinstall Windows, flash the BIOS or uninstall your games.
Which anti-cheats does it work against?
Titan's HWID Spoofer is designed for bans from Ricochet (Call of Duty), Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye and Vanguard. Our anti-cheat overview explains each one.
Can I get hardware banned again?
Yes, if the new account is banned for cheating, that ban lands on the spoofed IDs. A spoofer changes how your PC looks; it does not stop the anti-cheat from judging what an account does.
