Seeing a “You have been banned” message in Hunt Showdown is frustrating enough. But it gets worse when it’s not just your account that’s blocked—your whole PC’s hardware has been flagged, locking you out completely. If you’re here, you’re likely dealing with an HWID (Hardware ID) ban, searching for a reliable way to bypass it and jump back into the hunt.

You’ve come to the right place.

This is the only guide you'll need. Skip wasting time on unhelpful appeals or blowing cash on new PC parts. We’ll guide you through the exact steps to fix your HWID ban and get you hunting again right away.

We’ll focus on the how, using the most trusted, undetectable tool in the industry: Sync Spoofer. You’ll get a detailed breakdown of each step, common pitfalls to avoid, plus tips to keep yourself clear of bans moving forward.

How to Fix Your Hunt Showdown HWID Ban

This isn’t just a quick to-do list—it’s a thorough walkthrough on beating HWID bans in Hunt Showdown. Stick to these steps carefully to secure a lasting bypass.

Step 1: Pick the Best Spoofer (Sync Spoofer)

Your first and most crucial move is selecting a spoofer you can count on. Free or cracked tools you find scattered around forums often come with malware or have already been caught by Easy Anti-Cheat, making your ban worse and faster.

Sync Spoofer is a premium, professionally developed product. We even offer a free 1-day trial so you can test it on your system without risk. You have two main options:

  • Temporary Spoofer (15, 30, 90 Days, or Lifetime): The Flexible Choice
    • Who is it for? Perfect for players who like flexibility. Maybe you try different software, play on multiple accounts, or can’t afford downtime from reinstalling Windows. This is your go-to.
    • How it works: Run it before starting Hunt Showdown. It masks your hardware IDs temporarily. Once you reboot your PC, your hardware IDs go back to normal. Safe, easy, and fully reversible.
  • Permanent Spoofer (One-Time or Lifetime): The Set-and-Forget Solution
    • Who is it for? For players banned (often unfairly) who want a permanent fresh start. It’s the ultimate long-term fix.
    • How it works: This tool modifies your hardware identifiers deeply, requiring a one-time Windows reinstall during setup to wipe all old traces. After that, your PC looks like a brand new device to anti-cheat.

Step 2: Join the Private Discord & Get Your Files

Once payment clears, a bot will send you an invite to our private Discord instantly. This isn’t just file access; it’s your help center. Inside you’ll find:

  • Instant Files: Your license key and latest downloads are ready 24/7.
  • Step-by-Step Guides: Detailed write-ups and videos walk you through every click and command. Check out our HWID Cleaner & Reset Guide to maximize your chances of success.
  • Expert Support: Our 24/7 team has helped thousands get unbanned. Stuck? We’re here.

Step 3: Clean and Spoof Your Machine

This is the most technical—but critical—part. Luckily, Sync Spoofer automates the tough stuff. It’s done in two steps:

  1. Stage 1 – Deep Clean: You have to wipe every trace of your previous ban first. Think of it as erasing a digital fingerprint. Anti-cheat leaves hidden logs, registry keys, and tracking files behind. Our cleaner acts like a cyber detective, removing every link to your banned hardware.
  2. Stage 2 – Spoofing: Once clean, you run Sync Spoofer. This isn’t some quick number swap; it fully replaces key hardware IDs—like your motherboard, storage drives, MAC address, and other vital parts—making your PC appear completely new to the system.

Step 4: Make a New, Untainted Hunt Showdown Account

Your hardware’s clean, but your old Hunt Showdown account is still flagged. Logging back into that will get you banned again immediately. You need a fresh identity.

Tips for Your New Account:

  • Use a brand-new email that was never linked to a banned account.
  • Pick a different username, unrelated to your old one.
    • IMPORTANT: Don’t link the same payment methods (credit card, PayPal), phone numbers, or third-party services (Steam, Twitch) that were tied to your banned account. Anti-cheat systems cross-reference this info to catch ban evaders. For more info, see our guide on HWID ban FAQs.

Step 5: Final Check & Launch Hunt Showdown

Almost there! Before jumping in, run through this quick list:

  • Restart your computer one last time after cleaning and spoofing.
  • If you're using the Temporary Spoofer, make sure it’s currently active.
  • Launch Steam, log into your fresh Hunt Showdown account.
  • Download and start Hunt Showdown.

That’s it! You’re back on the frontier. Your HWID ban is behind you.

Keep Your New Identity Safe Long-Term

Bypassing your ban is the first hurdle. Staying undetected is the real game. Sync Spoofer hides your hardware, but your behavior and online habits keep you off anti-cheat radars in the long run. Here are some pro tips to keep your profile clean and secure.

1. Separate Your Gaming Profiles Strictly

This is the golden rule. Treat your clean Hunt Showdown identity and any risky or experimental accounts like complete strangers in two different worlds. Anti-cheat tech looks beyond the game itself—tracking connections.

  • Keep Everything Separate: Don’t just use a different email. Avoid linking payment methods, phone numbers, or social media like Twitch or Discord between old and new accounts. Hunt’s systems can link that data back instantly.
  • Use Different Browsers or Profiles: Consider using one browser for your clean Hunt accounts and a different one for everything else. This helps prevent cookies or autofill data from exposing your new identity.
  • Think Like an Investigator: If a detective could connect the dots between accounts, so can automated anti-cheat systems. Leave no trace. Read our article on top anti-cheat software to better understand how detection works.

2. Check Background Programs Before Playing

Many bans aren’t triggered by cheats directly, but by other suspicious programs running in the background. Easy Anti-Cheat scans all active processes, even if they aren’t interacting with Hunt Showdown.

  • Close Everything Unnecessary: Before booting Hunt, check System Tray and Task Manager. Shut down anything nonessential. This includes:
    • Macro Tools: AutoHotKey, mouse/keyboard macros.
    • Reverse Engineering Tools: Cheat Engine, debuggers, reverse engineering software—even quietly running ones raise red flags.
    • Overlays: Popular ones like Discord or NVIDIA overlays are usually safe, but less common or buggy overlays might trigger the anticheat.
  • Create a Dedicated Gaming Profile: Tech-savvy users can set up a Windows profile or startup option that loads only essential software and drivers. This isolates any risky background processes.

3. Anticipate Ban Waves

Anti-cheat teams rarely ban instantly when they catch cheats. Instead, they track cheaters silently, then drop mass bans in waves targeting everyone who used the cheat.

  • Why: This slow-roll approach keeps cheat developers guessing how and when detection happened.
  • What That Means for You: You might cheat for days or weeks with no issue, then suddenly lose access. This isn’t random—it's a delayed response to the cheat you used.
  • Good News: If you use Sync Spoofer, the ban hits only your spoofed hardware identity, not your real PCs hardware. You can simply reset, spoof with a new identity, and continue hunting. Explore our Hunt Showdown Sync Spoofer page for tailored solutions.

4. Only Use Trusted Sources

The web is a minefield of scams and banned tools. Where you get your spoofer matters more than anything.

  • Skip Free Cheats: Any “free Hunt Showdown hack” from YouTube or shady sites is almost always malware or already flagged cheats that’ll get you banned fast.
  • Stick with Trusted Communities: If you must use third-party tools, source them only from private, reputable communities with strong reputations for staying under the radar. These tools often cost, but that’s the price for security.

5. Keep Your PC in Great Shape

Maintaining a clean PC boosts performance and reduces risks of random conflict with anticheat during gameplay.

  • Clear Caches and Temp Files: Use Windows Disk Cleanup regularly. When uninstalling software, use RevoUninstaller to remove leftover traces fully.
  • Keep Drivers Official: Always update GPU drivers via NVIDIA or AMD official sites.
  • Run Malware Scans: Tools like Windows Defender or trusted antivirus help keep unwanted spying or risky software out.

With Sync Spoofer’s powerful hardware masking teamed with smart habits, you build a strong defense layered against bans.
