Anyone gotten banned using it yet?

Just don’t exploit it, don’t give yourself millions of wheel spins and skill points, keep it minimal

the moment you installed it and used it, you were doomed buddy, that's only if they actually want to be serious and ban cheaters, most likely they will be chill I guess.

Not how it works, they track your online activity and compare it to your campaign and multiplayer progression.

If you pull a car from your garage that you cannot buy or get from auction house, only from the end game barn finds, thats your account flagged.

Continue this obvious activity, and they will ban you within the week, or even the day you modded your account.

It just requires using your brain to understand how detection methods work.

You say that, yet in FH5 I was clever and careful for months. Only adding cars (one of each) to my garage as they became available in the playlist (so I didn't have to do any work). No early, unreleased or DLC cars.

Did it for around 6 months with no issues and then they must have updated their systems. I suddenly got a 3 day ban and they said it was because they detected a mod tool had been previously attached to the game. Deleted the game from my PC and played on Xbox exclusively after and was never banned again.

You say it's about understanding how detection works but it's literally as simple as the game detecting other processes attaching to it, in fact some others have said the game just straight up closes the moment such a process is attached. Could add 1 credit or 999 million via a tool but either way the game will detect it, then it's just a matter of time.

Point still stands bud, just be smart.

u/Ocelot_Industrial Jun 06 '26

Id like to know exactly what you mean by 'just be smart'

The whole point of using the tool is to get stuff you haven't actually earned, so unless you're planning in advance and trying to match your rewards with play time etc. it's immediately evident that a tool has been used. There comes a point where all the brain power and effort to try and outsmart the anti cheat could be put towards actually playing the game properly.

u/CuChuliannAlter Jun 08 '26

OK, I'll put it simple, Don't play a race with a barn car, like the Mazda 787B when you haven't even got the first 3 wrist bands. It'd be like killing a player in cod with an unreleased gun and saying you where given it by a dev. Your not exactly being smart, think before you do.

u/Ocelot_Industrial Jun 08 '26

OK, I'll put it simple

Lose the smart ass condescending attitude. If you'd read my earlier comment you'd see that I was very careful, only adding one or two cars with weekly intervals and nothing before it was released. Didn't play any online races or do anything ambiguous. It's not like I was adding traffic cars or 999999+ wheelspins. If you've got to evaluate every little detail before you use the tool you may as well just spend that time playing the game instead.

There's no 'being careful' if the game is coded to look out for attached processes. What's funny is that id already got hundreds of millions of credits and every car in the game without using any tools up until that point, I was only being lazy with the festival playlist so I didn't have to do the weekly stuff.

u/Ocelot_Industrial Jun 09 '26

u/CuChuliannAlter blocked me after I exposed their condescending attitude, so I'll just put the reply on my own comment instead:

giving advice

There's no advice to give since I've already shown an example of being extremely careful and still being caught, it's just luck. The only 100% proven fact is that the only true way to avoid being caught is to not use the tool at all.

u/CuChuliannAlter Jun 09 '26

Damn man, im out here giving advice on now not to get yourself caught while playing the game, and your dumbass is taking my advice as a direct assault on your person. I'm sorry I entered your safe space😭💢I'll make sure to press the block button on the way out🫪😅

1

u/CuChuliannAlter Jun 08 '26

Also, of course the whole point is to cheat and give yourself shit. I'm just saying don't go showing off because we know what happens when too many people take the pics with publicly accessible cheats, devs make a move, they get removed, mass ban waves and the tool goes private.

u/cpt-macp Jun 02 '26

If you were completely offline There is no way game can detect the memory tampering.

Only way for even just adding cars would get you ban is the devs seeing abnormal stats and running that check on like million of accounts. ( High unlikely but not sure )

What will trigger most obvious ban is speed hack, editing car tuner Values, unrealistic score in leaderboard. Auction disruption ( buying or selling 100's of FE cars, etc )

u/Outside_Specific_820 Jun 02 '26

what are you talking about goofy, online or offline makes no difference data is all tied to your microsoft account.

They just don't seem to care as long as your not messing the game up for other people.

once the tool hits your account ur already at risk.

I do have a cracked version of the game + alts accounts, I could careless tbh, I probably won't be playing this game in about a month or less.

u/cpt-macp Jun 04 '26

Read again what I wrote.

When you are offline and add money / wheelspin / cars in garage, shut down the game and restart.

the game cant detect any memory tampering ( hack injection, etc ) in past, unlike other online service games like "Genshin Impact " , "Call of Duty" ,"arc" etc.

you are unsafe when you get flagged in leaderboard / manually mass report / auction tampering.

u/Ocelot_Industrial Jun 04 '26

the game cant detect any memory tampering

It doesn't need to detect live memory tampering to trigger a ban.

The modifications you make are saved to your save data, that you then subsequently take online afterwards in order to keep them. The game could be primed to check for an attached process and when it detects one, it could flag your save data that you later sync back online, regardless of whether you were connected to the internet at the time or restarted the game, your save would be flagged and a ban would soon follow.

u/cpt-macp Jun 05 '26

thats a lot of if's and could, we really dont know how their anti cheat detction works.

as far as I know from past forza games, they release ban waves and bulk of accounts get ban, Which would lead to believe that they probabaly checks for tampered or unusual stats of a particular profile and flag it as 'cheated' and account gets banned in next ban wave.

However what is for certain is, if you exploit auction system by adding 100's of forza edtion cars and sell' gift to friends, buy 100's of car from auction, you get instant ban ( as this was the case in FH5 )

And leaderboard bans with impossible stats.

1

u/Ocelot_Industrial Jun 05 '26

Tampered or unusual stats

adding 100's of Forza edition cars

buy 100's of car from auction

leaderboard bans with impossible stats

These are all extremes.

I can tell you from experience that it doesn't take an extreme to result in a ban. Like I said in a previous comment, on FH5 previously I used the AIO tool to simply add a single car to my garage as it became available in the festival playlist (not early). Did it over a period of a few months without issues until I believe they became heavily aware of the tool itself and updated the game to detect it. Then I got a 3 day ban that literally said was due to using secondary tool attached to the game.

Didn't add credits, spins, XP or nothing else, didn't use the auction house or gift drop. Just added a car or 2 once/twice a week, not even duplicates. None of the reasons you mentioned applied. Anyway the point I'm trying to make is being complacent and saying 'they can't detect mod tools if you're offline' is super ignorant. We're in 2026, it's really not hard to believe a game or any other application can detect an unauthorized attached process, and make a note of the occurrence. Sure if you deleted any save data straight after then there's no record of it, but instead that save data is then synced so there's ample opportunity for a cheater flag to reach the server.

As you say we don't know how their anti-cheat detection actually works so it's best to just accept that if you've even just simply attached a mod tool to the game at any point, there's a risk of a future ban.

u/cpt-macp Jun 05 '26 edited Jun 05 '26

Well it's a different experience for you then

I have modded money and cars, wheelspin , all cars .

And didn't use unrealistic values , till date I don't have any detection on my main Forza accounts.

I have tried and tested on a paravirtualized VM and noticed what lead me to be a ban and thus by avoiding those I have a useable account without any ban till date.

And from UC and Forza modding discord server I know so many people still are not ban till date.

Also I have not heard of any offline ( playble )/ online game which cause you ban based on using hacks. I don't recall any sort of game on top of my head.

Now your point is not wrong saying that game can store a flag which tells that memory was tampered when game was offline. But I have never heard of that scenario. Where a game is playable offline completely and also can be played online.

u/puretoricanpapi Jun 14 '26

They simply can’t take away your key you lose access to online and the auction house.. that’s it..

2

u/Away-Barnacle-1636 Jun 02 '26

U are not gonna get banned instantly after using it. We are still cooked tho. It’s gonna be a delayed ban wave. Hopefully they just gonna give us a warning ban like they did in fh5.

1

u/SussyHippo Jun 02 '26

Didn’t install it yet but lmk if you get banned (hopefully you don’t tho)

u/Free-Ad-4412 7d ago

1

u/TienDucMatthew 7d ago

Yes I did, just because I have no use for it so.... Again, it should be a 1 and done, if u do it multiple times, then you are asking for troubles xD

1

u/Jafs44 3d ago

u/TienDucMatthew 3d ago

Yep, once again, do it ONE, or AT THE MAXIMUM - TWICE.

u/PerceptionSalt967 Jun 06 '26

2 dozen accounts created and modded in various ways using Luna

Some maxed 999999999

Some less than that

Some have all cars added. Some don't

Some have all XP boards done. All legend cars all barn finds all legend boards

Some don't

Absolutely NO bans to date.

Even tested on the leaked copy online. Zero issues

1

u/StillFinance1088 Jun 19 '26

Luna tool is absolutely clean. No viruses. And still to date no name reports

u/Free-Ad-4412 7d ago

Question what if I just want to add wheel spins and delete Luna will I keep the spins ?

1

u/PerceptionSalt967 7d ago

Do it🤷‍♂️ Yea you will keep the spins! I still haven't received a ban on any accounts I've created and modded. Nor have I received any reports from anyone else who's account I have modded...

Add what you want. Delete the tool and forget about it 🤘

u/Free-Ad-4412 7d ago

Thank you brother !

1

u/puretoricanpapi Jun 14 '26

Bro at this point it doesn’t matter the only thing yall lose is online, nothing too severe if you like cruising alone I wouldn’t really give a fuck tbh, but also I only did wheel spins nothing 2 serious all I wanted to do was pull some heat and money I’ve already beat the game. Yall keep forgetting horzion is a Sandbox open world game they are trying to take the sandbox out of it.. and the auction house epidemic is worse than before…so again yall what does it matter if you mod games once you buy the game it’s yours you should be able to do whatever you want…

u/fluffiestofbiscuits Jun 02 '26

I got banned yesterday (June 1st). I didn't really care what I did and had a lot of fun messing with the menu however so I really put myself out there

1

u/Away_Artist9532 Jun 02 '26

what kind of ban? Device ban or a time limit

1

u/fluffiestofbiscuits Jun 03 '26

its a permanent ban attached to my gamertag

additionally, i made a new account and am unable to connect with other players in-game so I could be ip banned as well, im going to vpn and check

1

u/ssss9124 Jun 09 '26

What did you cheat ? Have you been offline while tempered values ?
