Seeing that dreaded "Account Banned" message pop up in Destiny 2 can feel like a punch to the gut. All your gear, your progress, your hours of grinding—suddenly snapped away. Naturally, you’re scrambling, hoping there’s a way back.

The good news? You do have options. The bad news? Only one really works without fail.

In this guide, we'll break down two ways to get unbanned from Destiny 2: the official Appeal Process with Bungie, and the Guaranteed Bypass Method using a tool like Sync Spoofer. We’ll walk you through both routes so you can pick what suits you best.

Method 1: Appealing Directly to Bungie

This is the first natural step to try. If your ban was an honest mistake or your account got compromised, appealing is your best bet to recover your original account.

When Does an Appeal Actually Work?

Let's be real, for most serious bans these days, the odds are thin. But you might get lucky if:

  • Your account was hacked: Someone else accessed your account and broke the rules.
  • The ban was a false positive: Maybe some third-party software on your PC triggered Bungie’s anti-cheat by mistake.
  • It was a minor offense: Sometimes a one-off warning or a small slip-up like toxicity can be forgiven.

However, if you’re looking at an obvious cheating ban or worse, an HWID (Hardware) ban, appeals usually hit a dead end. Bungie’s logs are thorough, and once they’ve locked you out permanently, turning that back is nearly impossible.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Submitting Your Appeal

Think your ban was unfair? Here’s how to make your appeal actually count.

  • Step 1: Gather Your Evidence
    • Before writing your appeal, collect proof: screenshots, gameplay videos, payment receipts if the ban involves transactions. If you suspect hacking, screenshot any suspicious login alerts.
  • Step 2: Head to Bungie Support
    • Go to Bungie’s official support site and try to sign in with your banned account.
  • Step 3: Locate the Correct Contact Form
    • Find the “Contact Us” or “Submit a Ticket” section.
    • Use dropdowns to select: PC -> Destiny 2 -> Account -> Ban Appeal or similar.
  • Step 4: Write a Clear, Polite Appeal
    • Don’t rant or get emotional. Keep it brief and respectful.
    • Be Honest: If the ban was a mistake or someone else used your account, explain clearly.
    • State the Facts: Say exactly why you think the ban is wrong.
    • Keep It Short: Support agents wade through tons of tickets; being concise helps.
  • Step 5: Attach Your Proof and Send
    • Upload all your gathered evidence, click “Submit,” and then Wait. It could take days or weeks to hear back.

If your appeal gets denied, don’t lose hope—you have another route.

Method 2: Bypassing the Ban with Sync Spoofer (The Guaranteed Way Back)

If Bungie has already given you that firm "No," or if you’re facing a ruthless HWID ban, it’s time to stop waiting for permission and take matters into your own hands.

This method uses Sync Spoofer to mask your computer’s hardware identity, fooling Destiny 2’s servers and sidestepping any hardware bans entirely. If you want to understand how such tools work with other anti-cheat systems, consider reading about how Vanguard HWID spoofers work.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Bypassing Your Ban

  • Step 1: Choose Your Sync Spoofer Plan
    • Get a Sync Spoofer license. You can pick from:
      • Temporary Spoofer: Easy to use, runs before you launch the game, and does not require reinstalling Windows. Perfect for quick unbanning. More about differences can be found in our Permanent vs Temporary HWID Spoofers guide.
      • Permanent Spoofer: A one-time setup that permanently spoofs your hardware IDs so you never have to think about it again.
  • Step 2: Join the Private Discord
    • Once you have the license, you get an automated invite to our exclusive Discord. Grab your license key, download the software, watch tutorials, and access 24/7 help from the team.
  • Step 3: Run the Cleaner and Then the Spoofer
    • First, run the included cleaner to remove all Bungie tracking leftovers on your PC. Seriously, don’t skip this. Learn more about cleaning in our HWID Cleaner & Reset guide.
    • Then run the spoofer. One click masks your hardware components, giving your machine a fresh ID.
  • Step 4: Create a New Bungie Account
    • Remember, spoofing doesn’t bring back your old account. It’s totally gone.
    • Sign up for a new Bungie account with a brand-new email—no old payment info or phone numbers.
  • Step 5: Jump Back In!
    • Log in with your new account and jump back into Destiny 2. This whole process can take less than 15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are some common questions players ask about getting unbanned in Destiny 2, whether it’s a game ban, IP block, or a hardware ban.

Should I bother appealing first, or just go straight to Sync Spoofer?

If you firmly believe your ban was an honest mistake—like hacking or a clear false positive—then definitely try appealing first. That’s your one shot at getting your original account back. But for any other ban, especially confirmed HWID bans, you’ll save yourself heaps of time by using Sync Spoofer right away.

What’s the actual difference between an account ban and a hardware (HWID) ban?

Think of it like this: an account ban is like being kicked out of a club—you can technically come back with a new membership. An HWID ban means the club blacklisted your face and ID; you can’t get in even with a new card. Sync Spoofer gives you a “new face” by changing your hardware IDs so Destiny 2’s anti-cheat doesn’t recognize you. For a deeper technical understanding, see our post on what an HWID changer is.

Can Bungie detect if I’m running Sync Spoofer?

Nope. While free or low-quality spoofers get caught easily, premium tools like Sync are on a different level. Our team constantly updates Sync Spoofer to stay ahead of Bungie’s anti-cheat updates, staying completely under the radar.

If I use Sync Spoofer, will my old gear and cosmetics come back?

Unfortunately, no. Sync Spoofer unbans your hardware, not your account. Your old Destiny 2 account—and everything on it—is gone for good. Spoofing simply gives you a fresh start.

Is the "Permanent Spoofer" truly permanent? What if I upgrade my PC later?

Yes, it permanently alters your current hardware’s serial IDs and survives Windows updates or reinstalls. If you swap out major parts like your motherboard, you might need to run the spoofer again. But for your current setup, it’s a “set it and forget it” fix.

Your Move: Stop Waiting and Start Playing

At the end of the day, you’ve got two paths:

You can hope your appeal gets lucky after weeks of waiting, or you can take control now and be back in Destiny 2 by the time your coffee cools.

Being locked out sucks—but it doesn’t have to be forever. If you’re done waiting and ready to dive back in, Sync Spoofer is the fastest, most reliable fix out there.
