fun fact, we actually changed the in-game text on a redscreen from "hacker" to "cheater," to avoid the implication that installing someone else's aimbot took any sort of skill

The ban was accurate. A career cheater with an ultrabanned device logged into your account this morning, and Vanguard immediately lasered it. Submit a ticket for account recovery (or DM me), and we'll discover the joys of utilizing MFA together.

Valorant "Soulbans" are live, so if you've cheated before, all your past, present, and future accounts will also be suspended. Some spirits will be released when the game is, allowing you to try once more on a new account, but this is the absolute limit of our mercy.

Saw a lot of VALORANT cheaters accumulate over the holiday, but we're back and happy to be handing out their gifts. Cheaters don't take breaks, so thanks for letting us get a small respite—we can hit so much harder now. Soon, future bans will include ranked rollbacks.

Okay fine. Sign me up. Violently polymerize me with the machine. I want to be an abhorrent amalgamation of circuitry and bone. There is no voltage my body cannot tolerate to defend competitive integrity.

Vanguard is compatible with Javelin, and you don't need to uninstall one anti-cheat to use the other. However, BF6 does not currently allow the VALORANT client to be running simultaneously, because both drivers race to protect regions of game memory with the same technique.

Fair Play Enthusiasts, This post serves as notice that I will be taking a career break for the remainder of this calendar year, and during such time, I will explore all the benefits that touching grass has to offer, including activities like beach, zumba, and marrying my wife.

I was put on this earth for the one singular purpose of banning cheaters from online video games. My body requires no nutrients, my training requires no weight, and my travels require no passport.

Scene: you're trying to enable HVCI to beat Vanguard's secure page update, but you'd also have to enable TPM2.0—and your chip's already banned. The Cheater's Conundrum, now playing in the basement of theaters near you.

after a cheater is detected, we will simply find a universe where their account never existed, and then move your account into it.

Please picture me as a beautiful Mallard duck, just returned north for nesting season, and picture your harassing me to be unbanned as water sliding elegantly off my freshly preened, waterproof plumage.

Radar DMA cheat. Definitely not next level. The approach is over a decade old at this point, and even the webserver radar is very CS 2015. "Real" cheats use HDMI fusers to render the overlay on your primary monitor. DMA isn't the boogeyman, and we ban it in waves.
