Rust DMA cheats and Apex DMA cheats are two of the most popular hardware setups, and for good reason. Rust is packed with resources, loot and players worth tracking, and Apex Legends fights are decided by who sees the third party first. Both games also run Easy Anti-Cheat in its stricter configuration, so they share the same firmware requirement.
This guide explains which firmware covers Rust and Apex in our lineup, whether you need a 75T or a 100T card for each game, how to handle Rust's hardware bans and what the rest of the setup requires. It does not promise that any Rust or Apex cheat stays undetected forever.
Rust and Apex DMA Cheats on LunarCheats
Rust and Apex DMA cheats from LunarCheats run on a 75T or 100T DMA card with Shield firmware, which covers every Easy Anti-Cheat tier. The cheat runs on a second PC, the ESP is overlaid on your monitor through a fuser, and aim goes through an input box. If you prefer software, see our Rust hack and our Apex Legends cheat.
Rust and Apex DMA at a Glance
- Anti-cheat: Easy Anti-Cheat, high-tier configuration, in both games
- Firmware needed: Shield for Rust and for Apex
- Not enough: Basic, which only covers low-tier EAC
- Rust DMA card: 100T recommended for heavy ESP
- Apex DMA card: 75T is enough for most players
- Extras: second PC, fuser, input box for aimbot
- Rust specific: fix TPM hardware bans before building the setup
Which Firmware for Rust and Apex DMA?
Our firmware tiers stack:
- Basic covers BattlEye, Ricochet and low-tier EAC. Not enough for Rust or Apex.
- Shield covers every EAC tier, including Rust and Apex Legends, plus EA Javelin, with full IOMMU support. The right choice for both games.
- Hook adds Riot Vanguard and ACE. Useful only if you also play Valorant or Delta Force.
Shield is a 1:1 emulated firmware, unique to each customer, with a 30-day warranty and a lifetime license at $449.99. One Shield license covers both games, so you don't pay twice if you play Rust and Apex.
Rust DMA: Why the 100T Card Matters
Rust DMA is one of the most demanding uses of a DMA card. A single Rust server holds hundreds of resource nodes, deployables, stashes, sleeping players, animals and NPCs. Every one of them is data your ESP has to read and draw, often while you are moving fast between monuments.
The 100T DMA card has a larger FPGA, which means faster memory reads and smoother Rust ESP when the screen is crowded, especially on wipe day. Our 100T DMA Package includes the card and all cables, with a mini PC option.
Rust DMA ESP in Practice
Use Rust ESP for information first: resource nodes to farm faster after a wipe, loot and stashes to find value, and players and sleepers to decide when to raid or avoid a base. Keep categories filtered so the overlay stays readable during a fight.
Apex DMA: Why a 75T Is Usually Enough
Apex Legends DMA has lighter data demands than Rust. Squads are small, fights are fast and most of the useful ESP is local to your area. A 75T DMA card handles Apex comfortably. Choose a 100T only if you also play Rust, Tarkov or Warzone.
Apex DMA ESP in Practice
In Apex, ESP decides fights before they start: where the next squad is, who is shielded, who is rotating toward you and when a third party is coming. Use it to take the right fights and avoid the wrong ones.
Apex DMA Aimbot
Aimbot through DMA needs an input box. The Makcu sends aim corrections to your gaming PC as a regular mouse. Keep the FOV small and smoothing high: Apex spectators and killcams catch aggressive tracking quickly.
Rust DMA: Deal With TPM Bans First
A Rust DMA setup does not remove an existing hardware ban. Rust bans can be tied to your hardware, including your TPM chip, so a new account on the same PC gets banned again. Read Rust TPM ban explained, and clean your hardware first with our Permanent HWID Spoofer, which supports Rust with TPM.
How a Rust or Apex DMA Setup Works Together
- Easy Anti-Cheat runs on your gaming PC.
- The DMA card, running Shield, presents itself as a legitimate device.
- The card reads Rust or Apex memory and sends it to your second PC.
- The DMA cheat on the second PC builds the ESP and aim data.
- The fuser overlays the ESP on your gaming monitor.
- The Makcu sends aim corrections as normal mouse movement.
Rust and Apex DMA vs Software Cheats
Software Cheats
Our Rust hack and Apex Legends cheat run on your gaming PC. They are cheaper to start and ready in minutes. The Rust hack shows players, NPCs, animals, items, deployables and resources, with human aim and a moveable 2D radar. The Apex cheat adds a native controller aimbot, glow ESP and filterable loot ESP.
DMA Setup
A Rust or Apex DMA setup costs more upfront but moves the cheat off your gaming PC. For Rust players with long-running accounts and bases, or Apex players grinding ranked, keeping nothing cheat-related on the gaming PC is the main reason to go DMA.
Which One Should You Choose?
Start with software if you want to test or play casually. Move to DMA if your Rust or Apex account is valuable and you want the lowest detection surface. One Shield license and one card cover both games, so a DMA setup pays off faster if you play Rust and Apex.
Rust and Apex DMA Mistakes to Avoid
- Buying Basic firmware. Neither Rust nor Apex runs low-tier EAC.
- Running Rust ESP on an underpowered setup. A 75T works, but a 100T handles crowded servers better.
- Skipping the TPM ban check on Rust. A banned PC stays banned, DMA or not.
- Aggressive aim in Apex. Killcams and spectators expose it.
What to Check Before Buying
- Firmware: Shield for Rust and Apex.
- Card: 100T for Rust, 75T or 100T for Apex.
- Fuser: DMA Fuser or 4K Fuser for 1440p 240 Hz.
- Makcu for aimbot.
- Cheat: our Universal DMA cheat, 30+ games with one key.
- Shipping: 10 to 14 business days standard, 3 to 5 business days fast.

Rust and Apex DMA Summary
Rust and Apex both run high-tier Easy Anti-Cheat, so both need Shield firmware. Rust benefits most from a 100T card because of how much its ESP has to render, while Apex runs well on a 75T. Clear any Rust hardware ban first, add a fuser and a Makcu, and use ESP to pick your fights.
Rust and Apex DMA Cheats FAQ
Does one Shield license cover both Rust and Apex DMA?
Yes. Shield covers every EAC tier, so one lifetime license works for Rust, Apex Legends and other EAC games.
Should I get a 75T or 100T for Rust DMA?
A 100T is recommended for Rust, because crowded servers put heavy load on ESP. A 75T works but can feel slower on wipe day.
Is a 75T enough for Apex DMA?
Yes, for most players. Pick a 100T only if you also play Rust, Tarkov or Warzone.
Does a Rust DMA setup fix a TPM ban?
No. Remove the hardware ban first with a permanent HWID spoofer that supports Rust TPM.
Are Rust and Apex DMA cheats guaranteed undetected?
No setup is guaranteed forever. Shield is tested against the latest updates and has a 30-day warranty, but safe play still matters.
