Fortnite issues two types of bans and the fix is different for each. An account ban locks your Epic account but leaves your hardware clean — a new account is all you need. A hardware ban tracks your machine's identifiers and flags any new account you create on it. Before spending money on anything, figure out which type of ban you're dealing with. If creating a new Epic account works fine, you had an account ban. If the new account gets flagged within hours or days, you have a hardware ban and need our spoofer.
Account bans are the simpler case. Epic bans the account for a violation — cheating, chargebacks, or ToS breaches. The fix is a new account, sometimes combined with buying a verified account from us if you want to skip the leveling process and jump back in with a built-out locker. Hardware bans are more involved. Fortnite records a fingerprint of your PC's hardware when a ban is issued and blocks that fingerprint from connecting. Creating a new account on the same machine triggers the ban again within days. Our HWID spoofer randomises the identifiers Fortnite reads — motherboard serial, disk serial, network adapter MAC, and others. Once spoofed, the game sees a new machine and the new account isn't flagged. We include a pre-launch test utility to confirm the spoof is active before you start.

Create a new Epic account using a different email address and log into Fortnite on the same PC. Play for a few hours or leave it active for 24 to 48 hours. If the new account works normally for several days, you had an account ban — the original account was flagged but your hardware is clean. If the new account gets restricted, suspended, or shadow-banned within 24 to 72 hours of logging in, you have a hardware ban. Your machine's identifiers are on Epic's ban list and any account you log in on that machine gets flagged. Hardware bans require a spoofer before creating or using any new account.
Yes. Epic has a tiered ban system. A first violation — light cheating or a minor ToS breach — typically results in an account ban. If you've been banned multiple times or the violation was serious (cheat software, ban evasion, fraudulent payments), Epic sometimes escalates to a hardware ban to prevent your return. If you've already cycled through multiple accounts on the same machine and keep getting banned shortly after creating new ones, that's a strong signal the ban escalated to hardware level. In that case, an account-only fix won't work — you need the spoofer first, before creating or using any account.
Setup takes about five minutes from download to activation — run the installer as administrator, follow the setup guide, and confirm the spoof is active with the included test utility. Once you see the confirmation screen, the fix is effective immediately. Create a new Epic account, log into Fortnite, and you're in. The process is instant from the game's perspective — there's no waiting period for the ban to expire or lift. The spoofer replaces the hardware fingerprint the ban was tracking, so you're effectively a new machine from Fortnite's point of view the moment activation is confirmed.
It depends on which option you purchased. The temporary spoofer changes hardware identifiers for your current session only — they reset to original values on reboot. You'll run it once before each gaming session, which takes about 30 seconds after the initial setup. The permanent spoofer writes new identifier values that persist across restarts, so you only run it once during setup — after that, boot your PC normally and play. If you're unsure which fits your situation: one ban and you want the simplest fix, go temporary. If you want to forget about it entirely, go permanent.
