Shield is the firmware tier for Easy Anti-Cheat and EA Javelin. Here is which games it covers, how it compares with Basic and Hook, and what you need to play Fortnite, Rust, Apex or Battlefield with DMA.
What Shield DMA Firmware Covers
Shield covers everything Basic covers (BattlEye, Ricochet, low-tier EAC) plus every Easy Anti-Cheat tier and EA Javelin. That unlocks Fortnite, Rust, Apex Legends and Battlefield. It does not cover Riot Vanguard or ACE; for those, choose Hook.
Every Shield firmware is a 1:1 emulated build unique to each customer, supports the 75T and 100T, and is covered by a 30-day warranty.
Activation
Our firmware activator on the second PC installs your build and works with any Windows 10 or 11 version, including 24H2 and 25H2. Support guides you through any BIOS settings needed.
Shield is our mid-tier DMA firmware. It covers everything Basic supports (BattlEye, Ricochet, low-tier EAC and lighter anti-cheats) and adds every Easy Anti-Cheat tier, including Fortnite, Rust and Apex Legends, plus EA Javelin. Full IOMMU support is included.
Every copy is a 1:1 emulated firmware, unique to each customer. It supports all motherboards and processors, 75T and 100T DMA cards, and Windows 10 and 11. We recommend Windows 11 on your main PC; on the second PC, the firmware activator works with any Windows 10 or 11 version, including 24H2 and 25H2. 30-day warranty included.
Shield does not cover Riot Vanguard or ACE: for Valorant and ACE-protected games like Delta Force, choose Hook. Compare all three in our DMA cards buyer's guide.
