⚠️Avoiding Game-Bans

This section is only for legit cheating. If you plan to rage, you can safely skip this. These steps focus on avoiding bans and maximizing your account’s lifespan while using cheats.

Use a Real or Aged Account

• Always use an account with real, BattleMetrics-proven hours.
• If you're on a new or low-hour account, play extremely legit to avoid suspicion.
• Avoid accounts with boosted hours - admins will detect and ban them after only a few reports.

Start on a Fresh Install

• If you've been banned before, do a clean Windows reinstall via USB.
• No software cleaner fully removes all traces - a fresh install is the safest option.

Always Use a Spoofer

• Use a temp spoofer (e.g., from unixx.shop) to avoid getting HWID banned.
• Spoof every time you launch the game, especially after any prior bans.

Cheat Smart - Don't Rage

• Don’t track players through walls or hard-lock with aimbot - keep it human.

🔎 Reminder: Most bans are from BattleMetrics checks, not server-side anti-cheats. Low-hour accounts or IPs linked to banned accounts = fast bans.

Change Your IP (If Previously Banned)

• If you have a dynamic IP, restart your router to get a new one:

  1. Visit whatismyipaddress.com
  2. Note your IP, restart router, then check again to confirm it changed
• If you have a static IP, use a residential VPN

Avoid Facepunch Servers (Unless You're Legit)

• If you play on Facepunch official servers, play extremely safe.
• A ban from a Facepunch admin results in a global game ban, not just a server ban.
• On new accounts, even if they have hours:

  • Play legit for the first 5–10 hours
  • Avoid high kill counts or extreme accuracy
  • Don’t go on killstreaks right away

Understand Cerberus (Server-Side Anti-Cheat)

Rust’s anti-cheat Cerberus tracks:

• Account age
• Kill stats
• Aim angles
• Recoil patterns
• HWID usage
• On new accounts, even if they have hours:

  • Play legit for the first 5–10 hours
  • Avoid high kill counts or extreme accuracy
  • Keep recoil reduction under 30%
  • Don’t go on killstreaks right away

Final Tip:

If you follow these steps and cheat smart, your account is much more likely to survive long-term.
