This comes as almost all multiplayer games including Modern Warfare, Fall Guys, Among Us, and others have been hugely impacted by cheaters.
The Valorant error code 152 is an indication that the anti-cheat system has detect you as a cheater and you may be banned. Stick around and we will tell you all about the error code and how you can play Valorant again.
What is Valorant Error Code 152 | How to Fix
From what we know so far, the Valorant error code 152 is a HWID ban. HWID stands for Hardware ID. In this type of ban, the game identifies the hardware on your system with its unique signature and bans the device. Meaning, you cannot play Valorant anymore until the hardware ID ban is lifted. You may still be able to play the game using other computer or laptop, but there are certain precautions you need to take or the second computer may also be HWID banned.
If the first computer is HWID banned and you continue to play Valorant, there is a chance that the second device may also be banned or the account you used to play also stands the chance of a ban.
As such, the only solutions to the problem when you get a HWID ban is to create a new account, change the IP, and play the game until the ban expires. So far, there are reports that the ban lasts for 90 days. So, you won’t be able to use the account.
A user on Reddit has claimed that using WTFast VPN got him the ban and consequently the Valorant error code 152. Here is the communication shared by him.
We hope you know everything about the error. The error 152 is not the only error code that relates to HWID ban. There are quite a few other error codes that can also mean the ban. Check our other guides for more info.
i was playing deathmatch and i was loosing too i was watching videos of crossair placement and movement and tried it. after the game a window popped up. “permanent ban” third party applications.. the only thing what was in background was razer cortex because i was trying out DPI´s
lvl24.. casualy playing the game.. got the battlepass.. watched youtube vids on how to get better.. and when I finally got 2 other weirdos like me to play with.. boom.. perma banned.. “third party application”
am just letting my frustration with them in here.. no they don’t respond on support tickets
I’m going to buy a new pc
Can I use the old ssd, gpu, ISP
To the best of my knowledge, the HWID ban only impacts the motherboard. So, as long as you replace that you should be fine. Anyways, reusing the GPU and SSD should be fine. As for the ISP, you can still use it but ensure that the IP is not the same, which should not occur as your new device would get a different IP. If you have the option to change ISP, do it just to be on the safe side.
