If you’ve heard talk about HWID bans in Marvel Rivals and aren’t sure what’s actually true, this article explains what can trigger an HWID ban, how Marvel Rivals can block your entire PC (not just your account), and what you can do if you ever get hit with one.
What Is an HWID Ban in Marvel Rivals?
An HWID (Hardware ID) ban means the game is tracking and blocking your computer itself, not just your in-game account or login info. Marvel Rivals scans for unique hardware details—like your motherboard, SSD, GPU, and more—to create a digital “fingerprint” for your machine.
How It Works:- When you try to play Marvel Rivals, the game (and its anti-cheat system) scans your hardware for serial numbers and unique identifiers.
- If your PC’s “fingerprint” matches one on the ban list, you’re instantly locked out, even with a brand new account.
From What I’ve Seen:
The latest competitive shooters—especially anything with strong anti-cheat—almost always use some form of hardware banning for repeated or serious offenses. Reports from Marvel Rivals’ community point to HWID bans being in place for the worst cases.
What Can Trigger an HWID Ban in Marvel Rivals?
- Third-party cheat tools or software
- Using unauthorized scripts, macros, or mods
- Editing or tampering with game files
- Repeated ban evasion (making new accounts on the same device)
- Multiple account bans tied to the same hardware
Basically, anything that gets you flagged as a high-risk or repeat rulebreaker puts your hardware at risk.
How Does Marvel Rivals Track Your Hardware?
The anti-cheat system scans for identifiers from major parts like:
- Motherboard: Serial number or model
- SSD/HDD: Storage drive serials
- CPU: Processor ID
- GPU: Graphics card details
- RAM: Sometimes included
If enough of these match a banned “fingerprint,” you’re out—even if you’re using a totally fresh account.

Can You Get Around an HWID Ban in Marvel Rivals?
Here’s what people usually try:
HWID Spoofers
These tools “fake” your hardware info to make it look like a new PC.
- Reality: Some work, but most are unreliable or get caught eventually. Spoofers also carry a real risk of malware or making things worse.
Swapping Hardware
Some players change out banned parts—often the motherboard and storage drives.
- Reality: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It can get expensive fast, and you might need to swap multiple parts.
Heads Up:
There are a lot of sketchy spoofer tools and “unban” services out there. Most are risky or just don’t work—I’ve seen people lose money, get malware, or just get banned all over again.
How to Lower Your Risk of HWID Bans in Marvel Rivals
- Stick to official mods and game settings.
- Avoid any third-party programs that modify the game or give you an unfair advantage.
- Don’t share your PC with others who have a ban history.
- If you get a warning or restriction, step back and figure out what triggered it before making more accounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an HWID ban last in Marvel Rivals?
- Most HWID bans are permanent. Sometimes temporary bans exist, but they’re rare and usually for minor issues.
How do I know if I’ve been HWID banned?
- If every new account you create gets instantly banned on your PC, but works fine on another device, you’re probably HWID banned. The game likely won’t send a special message about it.
Can buying a new Marvel Rivals account fix this?
- No. If your hardware is on the ban list, new accounts won’t help—you’ll just get banned again.
What hardware would I need to swap to get back in?
- Typically your motherboard and SSD/HDD; sometimes your GPU or network card. There’s no official list, and it can change.
Do HWID spoofers actually work?
- Some do, but most are risky, unreliable, or get detected quickly. Be very careful—especially with anything that seems too good to be true.
Final Thoughts
HWID bans in Marvel Rivals are designed to keep out persistent or serious rulebreakers. Once your hardware is flagged, getting back in is a big hassle and can get expensive fast.
