Re: I didn't use cheat and I got banned ON HWID

The first information on the issuance of permanent bans for iron appeared last month. At the beginning, the creators of the game warned, explained, then the first players began to "catch" the bans. The only way to counter such a ban is to buy a new console or PC.

Since the premiere, Respawn noted that it does not intend to deter players who do not follow the established rules. The first wave of bans affected 355 thousand accounts, but people could return by creating new accounts. But in recent days there have been new messages from cheaters about permanent ban:

"I can’t play on the new account ... My new account is banned immediately after the creation and one game."

For developers it does not matter whether the former cheater started playing honestly. After an automatic scan of the system, the anti-cheat bans the account automatically if it recognizes “familiar iron”.
