Free diagnostic
Is this a hardware ban in Off the Grid?
Hardware-ban symptoms in Off the Grid are more consistent with device linkage when the same PC is blocked across separate accounts; an account sanction follows the account. Gunzilla does not publish one universal HWID error string; the strongest device-ban pattern is the same enforcement state returning on another OTG-linked account after a reinstall on the same PC.

Reality Check
What affects hardware-ban appeals in Off the Grid?
Off the Grid appeal outcomes depend on publisher policy and the evidence submitted. An appeal can correct an enforcement error, but it does not change device identifiers or guarantee reinstatement.
“Cheating of any kind is strictly prohibited. Do not exploit, including glitches or vulnerabilities within the game. Use of unauthorized third-party programs or hardware devices to gain an unfair advantage are prohibited.”

For Off the Grid, TraceX rewrites the supported hardware identifiers listed on this page; it does not alter publisher records or guarantee account access.
Why You Need This
Do you need an HWID spoofer for Off the Grid?
TraceX for Off the Grid changes supported machine identifiers before launch; it does not remove publisher records or restore a sanctioned account.
You launch Off The Grid from Steam or the Epic Games Launcher, queue Extraction Royale, and a Gunzilla enforcement notice stops the account before the next drop. You reinstall the client, switch to Deathmatch, or try a different OTG-linked account on the same rig; the restriction follows the PC. Gunzilla has not published one universal HWID error string, so diagnose the pattern rather than a screenshot: the account changes, the machine does not, and the same enforcement state returns. That points past game files toward the EAC device profile built from board, storage, Windows, and network identifiers.
Off The Grid's PC release uses Easy Anti-Cheat, but neither Gunzilla nor Epic publishes an OTG-specific field list or weighting formula. The durable Windows collection surfaces are concrete: the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial and motherboard UUID; physical-disk serials exposed through storage IOCTLs such as IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY; Windows volume serials; physical NIC MAC addresses; and MachineGuid under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography. Windows can also expose the TPM 2.0 endorsement key, while Secure Boot reports boot-chain state rather than a serial number. Those last two should be treated as possible platform signals, not claimed as confirmed OTG ban keys.
That model explains why common fixes return the same restriction. Reinstalling OTG changes game files, and formatting Windows can rotate MachineGuid and a volume serial, but neither rewrites a retained SMBIOS Type 2 value, motherboard UUID, physical-drive firmware serial, NIC identity, or TPM hardware. One replaced SSD changes one input. A VPN changes the public IP only. EAC is integrated across Fortnite, Rust, Apex Legends, THE FINALS, and other games, so the same classes of raw identifiers can recur across its roster. A Gunzilla action does not automatically ban those titles because each publisher controls its own enforcement; the blast radius is recognition and possible re-flagging when the same machine profile appears elsewhere.
TraceX Spoofer rewrites the supported board, storage, Windows, and network identifiers as one coherent permanent profile before you launch Off The Grid through Steam or the Epic Games Launcher. A temporary session spoofer presents substitute values only while its driver or process is active and usually exposes the original profile again after reboot. TraceX uses a one-time setup: run it once, confirm the supported identifiers changed, then delete the tool. No TraceX daemon needs to sit beside Easy Anti-Cheat. The rewrite addresses device correlation; it does not restore the sanctioned OTG account, erase Gunzilla's enforcement record, or permit further rule violations.
Verified
Gunzilla's official "June 15 Patch Notes," updated June 16, 2025, says Section 2 of the June Battle Pass is built around OTG's Anti-Cheat Division and uses the words "permanently. No second chances." The listed rewards include Anti-Cheat character items and a PermaBan Emote. This verifies Gunzilla's permanence language and theme; it does not publish OTG's private hardware field list.
Why TraceX

FAQ
What should Off the Grid players know about HWID bans?
Off the Grid HWID ban FAQs explain EasyAntiCheat enforcement and the supported TraceX workflow.
Does Off The Grid HWID-ban players, or is every ban account-only?
Gunzilla publicly says cheating can lead to account suspension or permanent loss of access, but it does not publish an OTG hardware-ban schema for every sanction. A device restriction is most plausible when the same enforcement state returns on another OTG-linked account used on the same PC after a client reinstall. One banned account alone does not prove that Easy Anti-Cheat attached the action to hardware.
What is the Off The Grid HWID-ban error message?
Gunzilla does not publish one universal literal HWID-ban string, so do not diagnose the PC from a screenshot copied from another player. Record the exact notice and when it appears. A stronger hardware pattern is the same enforcement state following a different OTG-linked account on the same machine, while ordinary EAC startup failures, network errors, and one account sanction remain separate possibilities.
Why does a new Steam, Epic, or OTG account get restricted on the same PC?
Changing accounts replaces credentials, not the machine presented to EAC. The same SMBIOS board data, motherboard UUID, physical disks, volume information, NIC MAC addresses, MachineGuid, and platform-security state can reappear at launch. If Gunzilla associated enough of that profile with enforcement, another account can look like the same returning device. Repeated account creation may also create a separate ban-evasion signal.
Will reinstalling Off The Grid or formatting Windows clear an OTG hardware ban?
Reinstalling OTG replaces game files but leaves the machine profile intact. Formatting Windows can rotate MachineGuid and a volume serial, yet it does not rewrite the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, motherboard UUID, retained physical-drive firmware serials, NIC hardware, or TPM identity. Because EAC can use a composite profile, changing the software layer or one identifier is not a reliable device reset.
Will replacing one SSD or using a VPN fix an Off The Grid HWID ban?
Neither change replaces a complete device profile. One new SSD rotates one physical-disk input while the board UUID, other drives, NIC MAC, MachineGuid, and platform signals remain. A VPN changes the public IP route and may add a virtual adapter; it does not rewrite the physical machine. Treat IP troubleshooting and hardware-ban diagnosis as separate jobs instead of assuming a network change creates a new PC.
How long does an Off The Grid hardware ban last, and can I appeal it?
Gunzilla's published rules allow permanent loss of access, and its tournament support material says cheating can result in a permanent game ban. The company does not publish a separate OTG HWID countdown or a dedicated hardware-appeal policy. Use Gunzilla's official support form with the exact notice, account IDs, launcher, timeline, and any legitimate used-hardware or account-compromise evidence; a review is possible, not guaranteed.
Which identifiers can matter in an Off The Grid EAC device profile?
Relevant Windows surfaces include the SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard serial, motherboard UUID, physical-disk serials queried through storage IOCTLs, Windows volume serials, physical NIC MAC addresses, and MachineGuid under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography. TPM 2.0 can expose an endorsement key, and Secure Boot exposes trust state. Gunzilla does not publish which fields OTG stores or how EAC weights them.
Do TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot cause or clear an Off The Grid hardware ban?
Neither is a reset switch. A TPM 2.0 endorsement key can act as a hardware-rooted identifier, while Secure Boot reports whether the trusted boot chain is enabled. Public EAC and Gunzilla material does not confirm that OTG stores the raw endorsement key or uses Secure Boot as a ban key. Disabling security features can create a launch or integrity problem without changing the publisher's enforcement record.
Will an Off The Grid EAC ban automatically ban Fortnite, Rust, or Apex Legends?
No automatic roster-wide ban is documented. Those games use EAC technology that can encounter the same classes of board, storage, Windows, network, and platform signals, but Epic, Facepunch, EA, and Gunzilla control their own account actions. The cross-game exposure is recognition: an unchanged machine profile can recur in another EAC integration and may be re-flagged. It is not one universal publisher ban list.
What is the difference between a temporary OTG spoofer and a permanent rewrite?
A temporary session spoofer presents substitute values only while its loader, driver, or background process is active, and the original profile can return after reboot. TraceX uses a permanent rewrite for its supported identifiers. Complete the one-time setup, run TraceX once, confirm the rewritten profile, then delete the tool. No TraceX process stays beside EAC. The rewrite does not restore the account that received Gunzilla's original sanction.

Next Steps
Can a ban in Off the Grid be hardware-based?
The notice shown in Off the Grid cannot confirm a hardware ban by itself. Repeated restrictions across separate accounts on the same PC can be consistent with device linkage, while an account-only sanction follows the account. The ban-type checker walks through the symptoms, while the EasyAntiCheat ban-duration guide records the publisher policy available for comparison before you decide whether waiting is relevant.
