Does Valorant's Vanguard Anti-Cheat get you banned in this game?

Hey @aplesjuice 

Interesting question, it shouldn't get you banned but I can see possible conflicts because of the way Anticheats work.
I have Valorant myself but disable Vanguard when I don't play it, just for this reason.

Me and one of my friends got perma banned for “cheating” after our first game on a new accounts. I submitted an appeal considering both of us had never used cheats or had suspicious software and had never been banned in any other game before. Both of us had vanguard installed and running at the time and I’ve been told by multiple people that’s most likely the issue. When I got a reply for my ban appeal months later it was just an automatic message confirming my ban. Worst appeal system ever.

On Apex Legends^

I generally turn Vanguard off when I am not planning to play Valorant.

It is a good practice.

I think it does I’ve had 3 accounts on apex and 2 of them I updated valorant and played a couple rounds then exited and went straight to apex then I got banned on both of them, they were also about a month apart from each other. I’m 2 for 2 on that and you can see me get banned on stream on my YouTube channel BennysBlock
