### What Bans are there in EFT? <a href="#what-bans-are-there-in-eft" id="what-bans-are-there-in-eft"></a>

### Error 229 Ban: <a href="#error-229-ban" id="error-229-ban"></a>

This is a ban applied by BSG or anti-cheat systems like Battle Eye (BE). It prohibits you from accessing EFT on that account. **(Don't bother emailing BSG to get unbanned. They don't unban.)**

### HWID Ban: <a href="#hwid-ban" id="hwid-ban"></a>

Hardware Identification (HWID) bans are more severe as they tie your ban to your computer's hardware. HWID bans typically happen when the cheat you were using gets detected in a ban wave.

### Error 229 Ban: <a href="#error-229-ban-1" id="error-229-ban-1"></a>

If you receive a ban on EFT, it means your account is banned from playing the game entirely. The simplest way to bypass this ban is to purchase a new EFT account. Websites like G2G.com offer full access accounts, while LZT.Market provides temporary accounts. Be sure to [**Revo Uninstall**](https://download.revouninstaller.com/download/revosetup.exe) both BSG Launcher & EFT Game.

### HWID Ban: <a href="#hwid-ban-1" id="hwid-ban-1"></a>

A HWID ban is more severe as it's tied to your computer's hardware. Even if you create a new account, you won't be able to play EFT on the banned hardware. To bypass this ban, you can use a HWID spoofer. Options like [**Perma Spoofer**](https://insight-solutions.shop/store/Perma-HWID-Spoofer) & [TEMP SPOOFER](https://insight-solutions.shop/store/Remotion-Temp-Spoofer) are effective for EFT & other games. Be sure to [**Revo Uninstall**](https://download.revouninstaller.com/download/revosetup.exe) both BSG Launcher & EFT Game. **Selecting Powerful Uninstall for both.** Then reinstall BSG & EFT While using a spoofer on a new account is REQUIRED. Going forward you will need to use a spoofer to even open the BSG launcher. Failure to do so will result in an instant ban or delay HWID Ban. (Can range from a few hours to a few days)

### Guidelines to Avoid Bans in EFT <a href="#guidelines-to-avoid-bans-in-eft" id="guidelines-to-avoid-bans-in-eft"></a>

Follow these tips to keep your account safe:

1. **Moderate Your Stats**: Balance your headshot %, PMC/Scav kills, and K/D ratio.
2. **Limit PMC Kills**: No more than 10 PMC kills per hour. High velocity of reports => Very fast ban
3. **Minimize Reports**: Avoid gameplay that could lead to being reported.
4. **Play Time Matters**: Accounts with higher play hours are less likely to be banned.
5. **EOD/Unheard Accounts**: EOD /Unheard Edition accounts are generally less likely to get reported.
6. **Usage of Risky Functions**: Risky functions triggering tripwires on EFT's server side may cause you to be flagged for a ban.
