While "My friend..." posts are kind of helpful, I'd like to stick to what has happened to YOU personally not hearsay.

Soooo...if you are HWID banned in Valorant, how long did it take for them to HWID ban you?

First ban? Second ban? Third...? Etc.

I am hearing from a LOT of people that Valorant literally hits you with a HWID ban on your FIRST offense, if you are caught cheating or using a detected cheat, which many many of them are since the AC is so good.

What are your experiences with Val bans?

All it takes is one time. Had two computers hwid banned. Been dealing with it ever since. They are quite sneaky too. When I was first hwid banned I found a youtube video that showed you how to remove hwid ban. I tried it, worked fine. After a couple updates of the game it no longer worked (sort of). What would happen is they let you play maybe anywhere from a couple games to a few days. NO longer than 3 days in my experience. After that all the accounts you logged in with get banned. Sucks cause my buddy lost his account playing with my comp. Any way, get yourself a good spoofer. Youll be fine. Both my hwid comps are working perfectly now after being spoofed.

What are your experiences with Val bans?

You will get a HWID Ban by cheating or using any other third programs which are not allowed. HWID Bans usually last for 90-120 days after this time u will be able to play the game again but only on a new account.
If you HWID banned it will take them 3 days at most to ban you again. This depends on several conditions. In my time to find out how to remove the hwid ban I found that if you reinstall your windows (only this) you have like 1-3 days of gaming b4 they ban you again.
I think there is no difference in first hwid ban or second or third if you get hwid banned u have to wait 90-120 days until u can play on a new acc again.
If you experienced in pc tech etc. you can always try my self hwid removal method: How quickly does Valorant HWID ban? PERSONAL EXPERIENE ONLY PLEASE! (31)
It works for me all the time and it will work for any other game but you need to know what you doing.

Oh and my experience with hwid bans? I bypass them

Nothing. Your alt accounts should be safe unless you logged in to it after bad spoof since all accounts will then get VAL 5 ban.
First try new account and if no delay ban you can play on previous accounts.
Wait at least 12-24 hours after spoor just to be sure

1. As soon as they catch u ur gone, not like fortnite or something where they only give you a 1d ban to kinda tell u to stop (not hwid or launcher, just game). But with Valorant the moment you get caught you get banned for 90-120 days. I think its 120.

2. There are plenty of spoofers that work on the market, most of them use similar methods but can vary, so if one does not work for you chances are another one does, the only two that I can personally vouch for are edgey and sync. A common theme between most spoofers that are legit is that you must do something known as a raid0 a raid0 basically takes two of your diskdrives and turns them into a new one with completely new serials. Do not buy woofer, archine, or anything similar, they are ****.

3. If you try to just create a new account you will not be allowed in the game. If you do a bad spoof (didnt spoof baseboard, disks, only windows reset etc.) then you will probably last until u are halfway in the range or at the very beginning of your first game

4. If you got a good spoof then you will last for atleast one full game, a good spoof includes but is not limited to spoofing/cleaning,
Files (Can be done with reset)
Mac Address
Diskdrive
Machine GUID
Baseboard (This one is a pain in the *** for most).

NOTE: Valorant is not a difficult game to cheat in lol. You just have to have the money, verification, and repuation.
