Facing a "You have been banned" message in Valorant is frustrating enough. But when the ban extends beyond your account to your entire PC via an HWID (Hardware ID) ban, it can feel like you’re locked out for good. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably been hit with an HWID ban and want a real, effective way to bypass it and jump right back into Valorant.

You’re in exactly the right place.

This is the only guide you’ll need. No more wasting time on pointless appeals or spending money chasing new hardware. We’ll take you through the exact, step-by-step process to fix your Valorant HWID ban and get you back in action fast.

This guide focuses on the how, using the industry’s most trusted and stealthy tool: Sync Spoofer. We’ll walk you through each step carefully, highlight common pitfalls to avoid, and share key habits to help you stay under the radar for good.

How to Fix Your Valorant HWID Ban

This isn’t a quick skim-through checklist — it’s a detailed roadmap to bypassing Valorant HWID bans successfully. Follow each step closely for a reliable and lasting fix.

Step 1: Pick the Best Tool for the Job (Sync Spoofer)

The very first and most important choice is picking a spoofer you can really trust. Free or cracked spoofers floating around forums? They’re usually full of malware or already blacklisted by Riot’s Vanguard anti-cheat, which only shortens your time before another ban.

Sync Spoofer is a premium-grade, professionally built solution with a free 1-day trial so you can test it out risk-free. You’ll need to choose between two main options:

  • Temporary Spoofer (15, 30, 90 Days, or Lifetime): Flexible and Easy
    • Who’s this for? Perfect for players who like to switch things up, play on multiple accounts, or can’t afford the hassle of reinstalling Windows.
    • How it works: Run it before you launch Valorant, and it temporarily masks your hardware IDs. When you reboot, everything goes back to normal. It’s simple, reversible, and non-invasive. Learn more about temporary HWID spoofing options.
  • Permanent Spoofer (One-Time or Lifetime): The Set-and-Forget Solution
    • Who’s this for? Best for players banned on their main PC who want a permanent fresh start on a legit setup.
    • How it works: Integrates deeply with your system and permanently changes your hardware identifiers. It includes a one-time Windows reinstall during setup to wipe out old traces. After that, your PC looks like brand new to Riot Vanguard.

Step 2: Join Our Community & Download Your Files

After confirming your purchase, you’ll get an instant invite to our private Discord server via bot. This isn’t just for downloads—it’s your go-to support hub. Inside, you’ll find:

Step 3: Clean Your System & Apply the Spoof

This is the key technical step. Sync Spoofer handles the tricky parts for you in two stages:

  1. Stage One: Deep Cleaning — Before spoofing, you have to remove every hidden trace of your previous ban. Riot’s Vanguard anti-cheat leaves behind invisible fingerprints (like log files, registry entries, and hidden tracking IDs). The cleaner acts like a digital forensic crew to erase all these traces so nothing links back to your banned hardware. Check out our HWID cleaner guide for detailed instructions.
  2. Stage Two: The Spoof — After your system is spotless, Sync Spoofer changes your hardware IDs across the board—motherboard, disks, MAC address, and more—creating a fresh “digital fingerprint” that Valorant has never seen before.

Step 4: Set Up a Clean, Separate Game Account

Your hardware is now safe, but your old Riot account is still banned and trying to use it will get flagged instantly. You need a totally fresh identity.

Best practices for your new Valorant account:

  • Use a brand-new email address never connected to a banned account.
  • Pick a new username unrelated to your previous identity.
  • Important: Don’t link any of the same payment methods, phone numbers, or third-party accounts (like Twitch or Xbox Live) that were tied to your banned profile. Riot’s anti-cheat cross-references all of this data to spot evaders. For understanding similar ban issues in other games, see our guide on Valorant HWID bans and peripherals.

Step 5: Final Check and Game On!

You’re almost there. Before diving back in, do this quick final check:

  • Restart your PC once more to ensure cleaning and spoofing take full effect.
  • If you’re on the Temporary Spoofer, make sure it’s running when you launch Valorant.
  • Open Riot’s client and sign in with your new account.
  • Download Valorant if needed and launch the game.

That’s it! You’re back in Valorant, and your previous HWID ban is behind you.

Beyond Bypassing: How to Stay Under the Radar Long Term

Clearing your ban is just the beginning. Staying undetected is the real battle. Sync Spoofer makes your hardware invisible, but your in-game behavior and online habits define how long you stay clean. Adopt smart strategies to build multiple layers of protection that keep anti-cheat systems guessing. For additional tips, visit our common myths about HWID bans article.

1. Keep Your Profiles Separate

This is the golden rule. Treat your fresh Valorant identity and any test or risky accounts like they live in entirely different worlds. Anti-cheat doesn’t just watch gameplay—it hunts for any link between accounts.

  • Separate Everything: More than just email. Don’t share payment info, phone numbers, or social media profiles (Twitch, YouTube, Twitter) across old and new accounts. Riot uses this to track ban evasion.
  • Use Different Browsers or Profiles: Maybe pick Firefox for your new gaming accounts and Chrome for everything else. It helps stop tracking cookies or autofill data from connecting your dots.
  • Think Like an Investigator: If a detective (or an algorithm) can link Account A to Account B through any detail, so will Riot’s anti-cheat. Leave no breadcrumbs.

2. Check Your Background Processes Before Playing

Many players aren’t banned because of cheats actively running, but because some overlooked program is open in the background. Vanguard scans all active processes even if they don’t directly hit Valorant.

  • Close What’s Unnecessary: Check your system tray and Task Manager before launching Riot’s client. Shut down anything that’s not essential like:
    • Macro software: AutoHotKey, mouse or keyboard macro apps.
    • System tools: Cheat Engine, debuggers, or reverse-engineering apps. Even running these can spell trouble.
    • Overlays: Popular ones like Discord or NVIDIA GeForce Experience are usually fine, but rare or buggy overlays can cause false flags.
  • Create a Clean Gaming Profile: Advanced users can set up a Windows startup profile that loads only basic drivers and services, minimizing software conflicts.

3. Be Ready for Ban Waves

Anti-cheat teams rarely ban users the second a cheat is detected. They often watch silently, collect user data, then drop mass bans in what’s called a “ban wave.”

  • Why? This slows cheat developers from knowing how or when detection happened.
  • What it means for you: You might cheat safely for days or weeks, only to suddenly get banned in that wave. It’s not random; it’s a strategic strike.
  • The upside: Sync Spoofer only shields your spoofed identity. Your actual hardware stays clean. If banned, just clean, re-spoof with a new setup, and jump back in.

4. Get Your Tools From Trusted Sources Only

The internet is full of scams and flagged tools. Where you download your spoofer from is as important as the tool itself.

  • Avoid “Free” Cheats: YouTube videos or shady sites promising free Valorant cheats are usually malware traps or instantly detected cheats that will get you banned fast.
  • Stick to Trusted Communities: If you’re using third-party tools, only get them from private, reputable groups with a proven track record. Yes, they’re usually paid, but it’s worth it for safer play. Learn about the top protections offered by leading anti-cheat software.

5. Keep Your PC Clean and Updated

A tidy PC runs well and reduces conflict risks that might trip anti-cheat software.

  • Clear caches and temp files regularly: Use Windows Disk Cleanup and uninstall apps with RevoUninstaller to remove all traces safely.
  • Update drivers from official sources only: Always grab GPU drivers straight from NVIDIA or AMD.
  • Run malware scans: Use Windows Defender or trusted antivirus software to catch lurking threats that could interfere.

Pairing Sync Spoofer’s powerful hardware masking with these smart habits creates an ironclad defense against future Valorant HWID bans.
