Valorant Ban Wave Tracker

Vanguard· Community ban reports

Valorant Spoofer→Vanguard hub→No Ban Wave

Valorant enforces its terms of service through Vanguard, which loads at boot via a kernel-mode driver that runs continuously while Windows is up, reads SMBIOS tables, disk serials, CPU identifiers, MAC addresses, and TPM 2.0 endorsement keys before any user-space tool can intervene. Hardware bans are particularly difficult to deal with because they persist across account changes — Vanguard recognizes your machine's unique signature and blocks it regardless of which account you log into.

This community-driven tracker monitors Valorant ban activity in real time. Players report their bans here, and the aggregated data reveals whether the game is running a ban wave or if bans are occurring at normal baseline levels. Scroll down to see the data and add your own report.

About these reports

The reports on this page are community submissions from Valorant players who were banned for any reason — anti-cheat detections, ban waves, false flags, account-sharing, cheat-software use, suspicious behaviour, payment disputes, and so on. They are not bans that occurred while running TraceX HWID Spoofer. TraceX rewrites hardware identifiers to bypass an HWID ban after the fact — the data here exists so players can see ban-wave patterns and decide what to do next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Valorant banning people right now?+
Look at today's data point in the chart above. If there are more reports than the 90-day average, Valorant may be running an active ban wave. You can also report your own ban to help other players see the trend.
I got banned from Valorant — is it a hardware ban?+
The quickest way to tell is to create a new account on the same PC. If the new account also gets banned within minutes or hours, you have a hardware ban. Use the diagnostic tool below for a more detailed analysis of your ban type.
What hardware does Vanguard track?+
Vanguard loads at boot via a kernel-mode driver that runs continuously while Windows is up, reads SMBIOS tables, disk serials, CPU identifiers, MAC addresses, and TPM 2.0 endorsement keys before any user-space tool can intervene. The exact combination of identifiers it uses can change with updates, which is why ban waves often coincide with anti-cheat updates — new detection methods catch previously undetected hardware fingerprints.
Why am I banned from Valorant on a new account?+
This is the hallmark of a hardware ban. Vanguard has flagged your machine's hardware profile, not just your account. Any account you log into from the same PC will inherit the ban because the anti-cheat recognizes the hardware before it checks the account.
How long do Valorant ban waves last?+
Ban waves themselves are usually instantaneous — the anti-cheat processes a batch of detections at once. However, the effects are permanent for HWID bans. Temporary account bans vary from 24 hours to 30 days depending on the severity of the violation.
