Vanguard DMA firmware: which tier you need
Games protected by Riot Vanguard need DMA firmware made for it. 3 of our firmware tiers are built for Vanguard, starting with Slotted Elite at $259. Vanguard runs at kernel level from the moment Windows starts, so it needs the most careful firmware.

Games that use Vanguard
Well-known games protected by Riot Vanguard include Valorant and League of Legends. Anti-cheats change, so check with us in a Discord ticket if your game is not listed or recently updated.
What else you need
- A DMA card: 75T or 100T, from $119.
- A second PC that runs the DMA software. It does not need to be a gaming PC.
- A license for your game: see game licenses.
- Your BIOS settings checked. Some firmware needs IOMMU or Kernel DMA Protection off; we check your PC first.
What the warranty covers
Every firmware tier comes with a 1-month warranty that covers updates and replacements if something goes wrong. Nobody can honestly promise that any firmware will never be detected, and we do not. See is DMA detectable? for how detection works.
