Hook is our top firmware tier, the one built for Riot Vanguard and ACE. Here is which games it covers, what makes it different and what you need for a Valorant or Delta Force DMA setup.
What Hook DMA Firmware Covers
Hook covers everything Shield covers (BattlEye, Ricochet, every EAC tier, EA Javelin) plus Riot Vanguard and ACE. It is the only tier in our lineup for Valorant and Delta Force, and the safest choice if you play many different games.
Hook is our top-tier DMA firmware. It covers everything Shield supports (every EAC tier, EA Javelin, BattlEye, Ricochet and lighter anti-cheats) and adds Riot Vanguard (Valorant) and ACE (Anti-Cheat Expert, used by games like Delta Force).
Every copy is a 1:1 emulated firmware, unique to each customer, so your card never shares a signature with anyone else's. Hook bypasses IOMMU / VT-d restrictions without BIOS modifications.
It supports all motherboards and processors, 75T and 100T 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.
Not playing Vanguard or ACE games? Shield covers every EAC tier and Javelin, and Basic covers BattlEye, Ricochet and low-tier EAC. Compare them in our DMA cards buyer's guide.
