Is It Really a Destiny 2 HWID Ban?
A Destiny 2 device ban surfaces as Error Code Weasel at orbit — the Tower stops loading, every Crucible / Trials / raid queue refuses to spin up, and Bungie's policy page states verbatim: "If a player receives a ban or restriction while logged into our games, they will be disconnected from the game's services and receive Error Code Weasel." A fresh Bungie ID and a fresh Steam account on the same PC end at the same Weasel disconnect because BattlEye keyed on the hardware before login finished.
Can you still log into your game account?
Hardware Coverage
What Destiny 2 Tracks — and What TraceX Rewrites
Destiny 2's anti-cheat silently reads dozens of hardware identifiers from your PC while it's running — long before you reach a match. Learn how Destiny 2's anti-cheat works and why it's difficult to bypass without a spoofer. Below is a sample of the identifiers being tracked.
| Hardware Identifier | Destiny 2 Tracks | TraceX Rewrites |
|---|---|---|
| CPU Serial (CPUID) | Yes | Yes |
| Motherboard Serial | Yes | Yes |
| GPU Device LUID | Yes | Yes |
| HDD / SSD Serial | Yes | Yes |
| NIC MAC Address | Yes | Yes |
| Windows Machine GUID | Yes | Yes |
Reality Check
Destiny 2 Appeals Almost Never Work
And when they're denied — which is almost always for HWID bans — your hardware stays permanently blacklisted. No second chances.
“Bungie reserves the right to permanently ban Bungie game accounts or player hardware that have been confirmed as repeat offenders. Activity bans or restrictions may be escalated to device bans after multiple confirmed offenses.”

Why You Need This
Do You Really Need an HWID Spoofer for Destiny 2?
Your Guardian had Trials flawless tickets in the postgame screen, you ran one Salvation's Edge clear with a clan fireteam, and now every login to Destiny 2 ends with Error Code: Weasel before the Tower even renders. You spun up a fresh Bungie account, linked a clean Steam, even bought New Light again — same Weasel kick at the orbit screen, no Vanguard strike, no Crucible queue, no Iron Banner. The problem isn't your Guardian or your Bungie name. BattlEye fingerprinted your motherboard, drives, and NIC the moment Destiny 2 finished installing in Season of the Lost, and that fingerprint is what Bungie's device-ban policy is hitting — not the account on the splash screen.
Reinstalling Destiny 2 from Steam doesn't lift a Bungie device ban, and neither does wiping Windows. BattlEye sits at Ring 0 — its Microsoft-signed `BEDaisy.sys` kernel driver loads before the Bungie launcher hands you off to the Tower, and from kernel mode it reads identifiers Windows itself can't rewrite: motherboard serials from SMBIOS, NVMe and SATA controller serials, MAC addresses on every NIC, and BIOS-level CPU info. Bungie's policy is explicit: device bans escalate from account bans for repeat offenders, and "Bungie reserves the right to permanently ban game accounts or player hardware for first-time offenses deemed to be egregious violations." That's why a clean reinstall, a fresh Bungie account, or even buying New Light from a different Steam ID all end at the same Weasel disconnect at orbit.
The Bungie account architecture compounds the damage. Cross-save links your PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Epic Guardians under one Bungie ID — when an account-side ban lands, it locks Crucible, Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, raids, Gambit, and the Tower simultaneously across every linked platform. Stack a device ban on top and the PC stops being a Destiny 2 PC at all, regardless of which Bungie account logs in next. Bungie has also confirmed the team-bans-by-association policy verbatim: "Any ban or restriction for a player determined to be cheating or violating our Code of Conduct may also be applied to a team if the team benefited from a cheating player." That same policy is what powered the August 2025 Desert Perpetual Contest-mode ban wave, where community leaderboard analysis showed roughly half of confirmed Timeline's Blade emblem holders disappearing from the verified-clear list.
Bungie also sues cheat sellers civilly — they won a $4.4 million arbitration award (Feb 2023, $3,657,500 in damages plus $738,722 in legal fees, calculated at $2,500 across 1,361 violations against AimJunkies / Phoenix Digital), then a follow-on May 24, 2024 jury verdict for direct, vicarious, and contributory copyright infringement. The legal precedent is permanent. So is the hardware list of banned PCs, until the identifiers BattlEye reads at launch are rewritten. TraceX rewrites those identifiers permanently in one run, then deletes itself.
Verified
BattlEye soft-launched in Destiny 2 with Update 3.3.0 on August 24, 2021 (Season of the Lost), with automatic bans disabled for the first few weeks and turned on before Trials of Osiris returned on September 10, 2021. Bungie's BattlEye Support Guide reads verbatim: "Beginning in Destiny 2 Update 3.3.0, Battleye will be included as Destiny 2's anti-cheat service. During the first few weeks, bans will be manually reviewed and applied." Every Destiny 2 device ban that exists today traces back to that rollout. (Source: help.bungie.net BattlEye Support Guide; pcgamer.com coverage of the Aug 24, 2021 launch.)
Why TraceX
Built for Destiny 2 Players
You shouldn't need to replace your PC to play Destiny 2again. That's why TraceX exists.
Run TraceX once before launching Destiny 2. No daemon, no startup entry, no background service. When you're done, delete the binary.
Your new hardware identifiers don't reset on reboot or reinstall. BattlEye reads them as permanent — exactly like a fresh build.
Every hardware identifier BattlEye reads — CPU, board, drives, GPU, NIC, Machine GUID — rewritten in a single pass.
TraceX runs before Destiny 2 launches — not during. No FPS drops, no stutter, no driver hooks left running while you play.
TraceX updates ahead of Destiny 2 detection cycles. New versions ship before changes land in the game.
When you load Destiny 2, BattlEye fingerprints what looks like a fresh system. Your real hardware is never exposed.
Setup Guide
How to Bypass a Destiny 2 HWID Ban
Getting around a Destiny 2 HWID ban used to take hours — reinstalling Windows, flashing BIOS, wiping drivers, re-downloading everything, and praying it worked. One wrong step meant starting over and burning another account. With TraceX, a single click does more than all of that combined.

FAQ
Destiny 2 HWID Ban — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bungie really hardware ban, or just account ban?
Bungie's official policy is explicit: "Bungie reserves the right to permanently ban Bungie game accounts or player hardware that have been confirmed as repeat offenders. Activity bans or restrictions may be escalated to device bans after multiple confirmed offenses." The same policy allows hardware bans for first-time egregious violations. That's a device-level ban that applies regardless of the individual account ban status — a fresh Bungie account on the same PC can still get kicked at orbit.
What is Error Code Weasel and does it always mean I'm banned?
Bungie's policy: "If a player receives a ban or restriction while logged into our games, they will be disconnected from the game's services and receive Error Code Weasel as part of the process of applying the ban or restriction." The same page adds that Weasel is also used for many transient connectivity issues, so most instances of Weasel won't be followed by a ban or restriction. If Weasel persists across every login attempt and every fresh Bungie account on the same PC, the cause is the device ban — not a transient issue.
My SSD failed and corrupted some Destiny 2 files. Now I'm banned. Can a hardware failure actually trigger BattlEye?
BattlEye flags binary differences between the running Destiny 2 process and the verified install — corrupted files from a failing SSD can read identically to file modification at kernel level, and Bungie's appeal pipeline is heavily backlogged. Even after replacing the SSD, the device ban can persist because BattlEye's fingerprint also reads motherboard, NIC, and BIOS identifiers, not just the failed drive. Bungie's restrictions page confirms permanent bans are reviewed manually, with no published appeal-success rate for cheating-flag cases.
BattlEye banned my account because I was modding another game with Destiny 2 open. How is that possible?
BattlEye runs at Ring 0 system-wide while Destiny 2 is open, not just inside the Destiny 2 process — any debugger, memory editor, or mod tool active in another game can be read by BattlEye and routed to Bungie. Bungie's policy explicitly bans "User mode or kernel debuggers" and "Trainers, mods, cheats" running while connected to the Destiny game service, regardless of which game the tool actually targets. Once Bungie upholds the ban, the device fingerprint stays on the banlist.
I got carried through a Contest-mode raid by someone in my fireteam who turned out to be cheating. Can Bungie really ban me too?
Yes. Bungie's restrictions policy says "Any ban or restriction for a player determined to be cheating or violating our Code of Conduct may also be applied to a team if the team benefited from a cheating player." The August 2025 Desert Perpetual Contest mode ban wave is a recent example — community leaderboard analysis showed about half of confirmed Timeline's Blade emblem holders being wiped from verified-clear records, including non-cheating Guardians who were carried by hackers in their fireteam.
Will Destiny 2 work on Steam Deck through SteamOS / Proton?
No — and trying to bypass the block is a bannable offense. Bungie's official policy: "Destiny 2 and Marathon are not supported on Steam Deck unless Windows is installed and running our games through that system. Players who attempt to bypass the SteamOS and Proton incompatibility will receive an account ban." BattlEye's kernel driver doesn't load under Proton, so Bungie blocks the launch entirely.
Bungie won millions in lawsuits against AimJunkies — does that mean cheaters themselves can be sued?
So far Bungie's litigation has targeted cheat sellers (Phoenix Digital Group / AimJunkies), not individual players. The February 2023 arbitration awarded Bungie $3,657,500 in damages plus $738,722 in legal fees — calculated at $2,500 across 1,361 violations. The May 24, 2024 jury verdict found those defendants liable for direct, vicarious, and contributory copyright infringement of Destiny 2 — described as the first U.S. trial verdict in which a cheat seller was held liable for copyright infringement. Enforcement against players still runs through device bans and account bans, not lawsuits.
My Destiny 2 cross-saved Bungie account got banned. Does the ban hit my PlayStation and Xbox Guardians too?
If the ban is on the Bungie account itself, yes — cross-save means one Bungie ID owns your Guardians on Steam, Epic, PSN, and Xbox simultaneously, and an account ban locks Crucible, Trials, Iron Banner, raids, and Gambit on every linked platform at once. A device ban is additionally a PC-only sanction tied to the hardware fingerprint, so the PC keeps getting kicked at orbit even if you abandon the banned Bungie ID and create a new one.
Why is my brand-new Bungie account getting kicked the moment I open Destiny 2 on my PC?
BattlEye fingerprints the machine during the kernel handshake at launch — motherboard, drives, NIC, BIOS — before the Bungie account ever finishes login. If your PC is on Bungie's device-ban list, every new Bungie ID and every new Steam account opening Destiny 2 from that rig hits the Weasel disconnect at orbit, regardless of email, payment method, or Guardian inventory. The username is not the gatekeeper — the hardware is.
I'm using a XIM/Cronus on Destiny 2 PC for accessibility. Can BattlEye detect it and ban my Guardian?
Bungie's policy treats programmable controllers, keyboard/mouse adapters, advanced macros, and automation via artificial intelligence used to gain an advantage — including reducing recoil or boosting aim assist — as Code of Conduct violations. The "Abuse of External Accessibility Tools" section is explicit that this can result in escalating actions including bans. BattlEye plus Bungie's gameplay analytics flag suspicious leaderboard climbs in Crucible and Trials of Osiris.
