Seeing a "You have been banned" message from Squad is frustrating enough. But when you find out it’s not just your account, but your whole PC that’s blacklisted, it can feel like your gaming days are over. If you’ve landed here, chances are you’ve been slapped with an HWID (Hardware ID) ban, and you’re hunting for a reliable way to bypass it and jump back into the fight.
You’re definitely in the right spot.
This is the only guide you need. Stop wasting time on useless appeals or splurging on new PC parts. We’ll take you through the exact, step-by-step method to clear your Squad HWID ban and get you back to gaming—fast.
We’ll focus on the how with the help of the industry’s most trusted and stealthy solution: Sync Spoofer. We’ll go deep into each step, warn you about pitfalls to avoid, and share crucial habits to help keep you off ban radars long-term.
How to Fix Your Squad HWID Ban
This isn't a quick “try this and hope” list; it’s a detailed walk-through for overcoming HWID bans in Squad. Sticking to these steps closely is key to a successful, lasting bypass.
Step 1: Pick the Right Spoofer (Sync Spoofer)
The first and most important choice is picking a spoofer you can trust. Free or cracked tools from shady forums are often packed with malware or already flagged by Easy Anti-Cheat, which only gets you banned again faster.
Sync Spoofer is a premium, professionally developed tool. We offer a free 1-day trial so you can test it on your system before buying. You get to choose between two types of solutions:
- Temporary Spoofer (15, 30, 90 Days, or Lifetime): The Flexible Option
- Who’s it for? Perfect if you value flexibility—maybe you switch software, game competitively on multiple accounts, or can’t afford downtime or reinstalling Windows.
- How it works: Run the app before launching Squad. It creates a temporary "mask" over your hardware IDs. Restart your PC, and it reverts to original. It’s non-invasive and fully reversible.
- Permanent Spoofer (One-Time or Lifetime): The “Set It & Forget It” Solution
- Who’s it for? Ideal if you want a permanent reset after getting banned, playing clean without worry.
- How it works: It permanently changes your hardware identifiers by deeply integrating with your system. You’ll do a one-time Windows reinstall during setup to wipe old traces, and after that, your PC looks like a brand new device to anti-cheat.
Step 2: Join the Community & Download
After your payment’s confirmed, a bot sends you a link to our private Discord. This isn’t just about grabbing files—it’s your go-to support hub. Inside you’ll find:
- Instant Access: License key and the latest downloads, 24/7.
- Detailed Guides: Step-by-step written instructions and video tutorials covering each click, similar to our HWID Cleaner & Reset Guide.
- Expert Support: Our 24/7 staff has helped thousands of gamers. Stuck? We’re here for you.
Step 3: Clean & Spoof Your PC
This technical step is the core of the process, and Sync Spoofer automates the tough stuff. It’s two parts:
- Stage A: Deep Clean—Before spoofing, you have to erase every trace of your old ban. Epic’s anti-cheat leaves behind invisible “fingerprints” like logs, registry keys, tracking files. Our cleaner acts like a forensic team, wiping all that evidence away so nothing links back to your former ban. This process is critical and aligns with detailed techniques from our HWID Cleaner Reset Bypass Bans guide.
- Stage B: Spoof—After cleaning, run the spoofer. This goes way beyond tweaking a number or two. Sync builds a legit new digital identity for your motherboard, SSD/HDDs, MAC address, and peripherals—making your PC a ghost Epic’s never encountered. To understand the technology behind this better, see What is an HWID Changer.
Step 4: Set Up a Clean Game Account
Your hardware is fresh, but your old Squad account is still banned. Logging into it will trigger flags instantly. You need a totally fresh gaming identity.
Tips for Your New Account:
- Use a brand-new email address. Don’t recycle any address tied to banned accounts.
- Pick a new username with no ties to your old one.
Step 5: Final Check & Launch
Almost there! Before diving back in, run through this quick checklist:
- Reboot your PC after cleaning and spoofing.
- If you’re on the Temporary Spoofer, make sure it’s active.
- Open the Epic Games Launcher and log into your new Squad account.
- Download and launch Squad.
Done! You’re back on the battlefield, with your old HWID ban behind you.
Beyond the Bypass: Stay Safe Long-Term
Getting unbanned is the first win. Staying clear of bans is the real fight. Sync Spoofer masks your hardware, but your behavior and digital habits keep you invisible for good. Using these smart moves creates layers of protection making it super tough for anti-cheat systems to track you. For example, background apps are a common ban trigger; learn how to avoid pitfalls in Top Anti-Cheat Software.
1. Keep Profiles Separate
This is rule number one. Treat your “clean” Squad account and any risky or experimental ones as totally different worlds. Anti-cheat checks don’t just look at your game—they hunt for connections.
- Separate everything: Don’t reuse payment options, phone numbers, or social media accounts between banned and clean profiles. Epic’s system digs into this data to link accounts.
- Use different browsers or profiles: Try Firefox for your new gaming, Chrome for everything else. This helps avoid tracking cookies or autofill linking your accounts.
- Think like a detective: If someone could connect your accounts, so can anti-cheat. Leave no trace. For more account hygiene tips, see HWID Ban FAQs.
2. Check Background Apps Before You Play
A lot of bans come from programs running quietly in the background, not active cheats. Easy Anti-Cheat scans all running processes—anything suspicious is a red flag.
- Close unneeded software: Before you start Squad, peek at your system tray and Task Manager. Shut down anything non-essential, especially:
- Macros: AutoHotKey, mouse/keyboard macro tools.
- System utilities: Cheat Engine, debuggers, reverse-engineering tools—all big no-nos.
- Overlays: Trusted ones like Discord or NVIDIA GeForce Experience usually pass, but rare or buggy overlays might trigger false alarms.
- Create a “clean gaming” startup: For power users, set up a Windows profile that only loads essentials, to keep stray software from kicking in. You can also benefit from tips in our How to Bypass HWID Ban article.
3. Expect Ban Waves
Anti-cheat devs rarely ban cheats the second they're spotted. Instead, they quietly track them, then slap bans en masse in huge “ban waves.”
- Why do this? It hides exactly how or when the cheat was detected, throwing cheat developers off.
- What it means for you: You might use a cheat, play for a stretch without issues, then suddenly get banned. It’s a delayed strike targeting anyone who used that cheat.
- The upside: If you’re using Sync Spoofer, these bans only hit your spoofed identity. Your real hardware stays safe, so you can clean, re-spoof with a new ID, and jump back in. This behavior and spoofing synergy is discussed in Permanent vs Temporary HWID Spoofers.
4. Get Your Files from Trusted Sources
The internet is full of scams and banned tools. Where you grab your spoofer matters big time.
- Beware of “free” cheats: Any YouTube or sketchy site offering a “free Squad cheat” is likely malware or a detected tool that’ll get you HWID banned fast.
- Go with trusted communities: Private, established groups with track records of stealthy tools are the safest bet—even if you pay, it’s worth avoiding quick detection.
5. Keep Your PC in Top Shape
A well-run PC not only runs better but is less likely to trigger anti-cheat glitches or conflicts.
- Clear caches and temp files regularly: Windows’ Disk Cleanup and RevoUninstaller when removing programs help wipe old tracking data.
- Update drivers from official sites: Always get your graphics drivers from NVIDIA or AMD’s official downloads.
- Run malware scans: Use Windows Defender or a reliable antivirus to keep hidden spyware or conflicts at bay.
Mixing the powerful masking of Sync Spoofer with smart habits like these builds a rock-solid defense against future bans.
