Anyone currently digging into the Valorant scene knows it's a bloodbath right now.
I've been messing with this game since the beta, and Vanguard is hitting a point where even "safe" setups are getting clapped faster than a silver in a Radiant lobby. If you're still running public internals or trust a "private" external with no reputation, you're basically donating your account to the ban gods. The current state of software cheats is abysmal—public builds are either scams or instant bans, and even limited privates are getting hit with C&Ds or targeted detections.
The Death of the "Safe" Meta
Dual PC & Streaming Detections
The most impressive (and annoying) thing is how Riot is handling Dual PC solutions. We've seen a massive shift here as hardware-shifted focus has led to new detection vectors:
Hardware Bans & The Spoofing Nightmare
If you get clapped, welcome to hell. HWID spoofing for Valorant has become a technical nightmare. Simple registry cleaners or serial changers don't cut it anymore. Vanguard's ability to pull deep hardware traces means you're often looking at physical reconfiguration or spending a fortune on high-tier spoofers that actually work at the kernel/EFI level. Most providers in the market right now are just scamming with rebranded tools that leave traces behind.
From a technical standpoint, Vanguard's ability to detect video feed manipulation over a local network is impressive—far beyond what we see from EAC or BattlEye. If you're sending cropped resolutions or manipulated frames, they're watching.
While others are catching bans from broken retail injectors and "lifetime" UD promises on YouTube, Infocheats users know that staying safe in Valorant requires constant adaptation and actual technical knowledge. Don't trust the marketing; trust the logs.
who's actually managed to stay UD on a Dual PC setup recently?

The Death of the "Safe" Meta
- Regular Software: Internal and external cheats are flagged almost instantly. If you aren't using a custom-coded private driver, you're on borrowed time.
- DMA: It’s become a massive headache. Between firmware flagging and PCIe signature checks, it’s a constant cat-and-mouse game that most users are losing.
- AI & Colorbots: The old Arduino and Hostshield meta is dying. Public drivers for these are detected, and improperly configured boards are getting flagged by VGC faster than ever.
Dual PC & Streaming Detections
The most impressive (and annoying) thing is how Riot is handling Dual PC solutions. We've seen a massive shift here as hardware-shifted focus has led to new detection vectors:
Transmission & Software Risks:
- NDI Detections: Confirmed and being hit hard.
- UDP Transmission: Flagged by Vanguard's network monitoring.
- Makcu / Ferrum: Makcu is currently considered unsafe. While not every hit is an instant ban, you are at high risk for manual reviews due to input/video inconsistencies.
- Capture Cards: Still technically viable, but the barrier to entry is rising. You need high-end gear to get even remotely decent performance, making it just as expensive as a full DMA setup.
