Best HWID spoofers 2026: BattlEye, EAC and ACE compared

You need a hardware spoofer in exactly one situation: the anti-cheat banned the computer, not just the account, and every new account on it gets banned too. Then the questions start: which spoofer is best, per-session or static spoofing, will a Tarkov spoofer work for Arena Breakout, and why the free one from GitHub doesn't hold. Here is the breakdown, with the four spoofers from our catalog compared.

What a hardware ban is and how to check it

The anti-cheat blacklists your computer's identifiers: disk and motherboard serials, BIOS, MAC addresses and Windows IDs. The check is simple: a new account on the same PC. If it gets banned the same day or can't log in, it's a hardware ban. If it plays for weeks, only the account was banned and you don't need a spoofer. You don't need new parts: a spoofer replaces the whole set in software.

Session spoofing and Static mode

• Session. The spoof lasts until Windows restarts, so you run the spoofer before each session. Nothing in the system is changed permanently. SMG BE and ABI Spoofer work this way.
• Static. Baunti CFF has a Static mode that returns the same spoofed identifiers on every run. To the anti-cheat that looks like one consistent "new" PC rather than new hardware every day.

The license term is how long the key works, not how long an unban lasts. No mode lifts a ban from the account itself.

The main rule: choose the spoofer by anti-cheat

There is no truly universal spoofer: every anti-cheat reads its own set of identifiers. Check which anti-cheat your game uses first, then pick the spoofer.

BattlEye: Tarkov, DayZ, PUBG, R6, War Thunder

For BattlEye take SMG BE. Tarkov bans twice: BattlEye keeps the serials and the BSG launcher bans separately. SMG BE spoofs the serials, cleans BattlEye and EFT ban logs and bypasses the launcher ban. Desync and Baunti CFF also list BattlEye support. If you want a cheat with a spoofer in one key, Tarkov has Authority and Sky, and DayZ has Authority.

EAC: Rust, Hunt: Showdown, Apex, Squad, The Finals

For EAC take Baunti CFF: it lists EAC and BattlEye support, comes as a 30-day license and has Static mode. Read the BIOS and USB requirements on the product page before buying. Arc Raiders and Dead by Daylight run EAC with extra protection on top, so ask support first.

ACE: Arena Breakout: Infinite

BattlEye and EAC spoofers do not work against ACE. You need ABI Spoofer: a per-session spoof of the set ACE reads, plus cleanup of old ban traces. It runs from a USB stick and needs a GPT disk with UEFI boot. The developer of Desync also lists ACE mode as working.

Not in the catalog

Vanguard (Valorant), VAC (CS2, Dota 2), Ricochet (Call of Duty), FACEIT, MRAC (Warface). If your game isn't listed above, ask support before paying.

Free spoofers from GitHub

A free spoofer usually changes the disk serial and MAC address and stops there. The anti-cheat checks a dozen more values plus logs and traces, so the second ban lands on the "new" hardware. Worse, many "free spoofers" from forums and Telegram are stealers that take your Steam and email.

How to use a spoofer

1. New account. Never log into the old one under the spoofer: the anti-cheat will link them.
2. Spoofer before the game: loader, key, run. Per-session spoofers run before every session.
3. Then the cheat or radar, then the game. The spoofer always goes first.
4. Watch the status on the product page: "updating" means don't play.

What a spoofer doesn't do

• It doesn't lift the account ban: play on a new account.
• It doesn't hide the cheat: that is the cheat's job.
• It doesn't cover "all games at once": see the anti-cheat rule above.

Best spoofer in 2026, in short

• Tarkov, DayZ and other BattlEye games — SMG BE.
• Rust and other EAC games — Baunti CFF.
• Arena Breakout: Infinite — ABI Spoofer.
• Cheat and spoofer in one key — Authority or Sky for Tarkov.

All spoofers are in the HWID Spoofer section. The key arrives right after payment.

FAQ

Can one spoofer cover every game?

BattlEye and EAC together — Baunti CFF. ACE needs ABI Spoofer or Desync; there are no spoofers for Vanguard, VAC or Ricochet in the catalog.

I updated to Windows 24H2. What works?

ABI Spoofer runs on 24H2 and 25H2. For the others, check the requirements on the product page: support for new Windows builds doesn't arrive at the same time.

Is a spoofer the same as a VPN?

No. A VPN changes your IP, and anti-cheats don't ban by IP. A spoofer changes hardware identifiers, which is exactly what a hardware ban targets.
