Respawn has banged the swift hammer of justice once again, hardware ID-banning (HWID) a number of Apex Legends players on PC, including one prolific cheater who was banned again and again as he attempted to bypass the bans live on Twitch.

As shared on ResetEra and Reddit, the cheaters have been turning to forums for ways to bypass or remove the hardware ban that bans not just accounts, but also the very hardware running them. Changing IP addresses and other such "fixes" are not effective, as the HWID code is unique to your computer's hardware.
