HWID Ban
Hi,
My account was locked on September 26, 2025, and I still don’t know why. The suspension notice mentioned third-party tools, but the only tool I’ve ever used for Valorant is Valorant Tracker, which as far as I know doesn’t affect gameplay.
That morning I played two matches with a friend, and I didn’t use anything unauthorized. I have never cheated or used hacks in Valorant. After that I was at school the rest of the day and wasn’t even playing anymore.
The only unrelated software I have on my PC is a mod menu for Red Dead Redemption 2, but I have never used it in Valorant nor while playing any online competitive games.
I already submitted multiple tickets, but I only receive an automated response saying the suspension is confirmed. Could you please clarify what exactly triggered this action on my account?

As long as vanguard is running, it detects any Cheats/mods running and bans you, regardless of what game it’s intended for.
I’ve had that RDR2 mod menu on my laptop for a long time and never had any issues before, so I don’t understand why I suddenly got banned now. I can remove it if that’s the problem.
If you had it for a long time along side Val, then you probably installed something else thst got you banned
I also had a GTA mod installed, but I removed it the same day I used it.
Is there a way to do something because I still don't know why I am banned?
don’t waste your time they will not unban you
Dude you bought account and got ban your case is different

You wanna se proof?
first when they detect cheat in your pc and got live ban you get val 5
then when you try to login later you will see van 152
They said diffrent to my ticket...
its same shi means your device banned
i dont care what they say
few days ago they ban guy and give him 2 diffrent answer
Well idk, i got ehat they said.
one is he got perma ban for cheating and the other answer he got perma ban for afk
and here maybe bc you got banned in account
then try to login with diffrent account later they will show you van 152 iand if you ask they will say your device have ban and you can use device again once hwid is over
well yeah I lost hope in getting my account back, people are litt using spoofers and everything but they ain’t getting banned
and I got a ban for no reason
says who ?they are not getting banned ?
I had people that were using spoofers without getting banned, just saying what I saw
war between cheat dev and anticheat will never end
ppl will always find way

but scroll down and you will see
you will never have clean game
but you used something not allowed even if its for another game
still not allowed
and there are many discord servers selling aimbot/wallhack/spoofers so yeah
and vangaurd cant see ah this cheat for diffrent game
🙂
no reason to get me banned from valorant they can tell me to delete it
its anticheat so anything not allowed found wil get you banned
and fyi this mods for other games or cheat can steal all your info
so idk why you download such thing
I have litt 1 modmenu, I have friends with many cheats on their PC why are they not getting banned
yea they will get banned
as you had something for long time and didnt get you banned
but one day they will as you did
and like I said they can at least tell me to delete it instead of perm banning me 😃
do you think riot would have time to tell players to delete cheats for other games ?
cheat is cheat no matter what
so banning people that are not cheating in Valorant is better than not banning people that uses cheats?
give names
next time gonna use my RDR menu while playing valorant 😃
do you have names with tags ? and see if they get banned of not
you will be banned again :val_CatJam:
do you think I have a photographic memory 💀
you said you know them no ?
where did I say I know them?
🫤
didn’t say I know them 😃
their discord servers told everything
ah mb then
no worries
yea its sad you got ban but rules are rules
I respect their rules and the decision they made but imo they could’ve looked at the info I sent them
but yea maybe one day they will
