Installing Golden Cheat from scratch

The whole thing takes about ten minutes, and most of that is Windows settings rather than the software itself.

1. Create an account

Register on the sign-up page. Every new account gets seven free days with all three tools unlocked — no card, no auto-renewal.

2. Prepare the machine

Take this step seriously; most of what reaches support starts here.

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, build 19041 or newer. Run winver to check your build.
  • Disable Secure Boot in BIOS.
  • Disable TPM 2.0.
  • Real hardware. Virtual machines and sandboxes are not supported.
  • Temporarily disable your antivirus. The reason is explained here.

3. Download the launcher

Sign in and get the launcher from the download section. It checks its own version and updates itself when needed — do not source the file from anywhere else.

4. Sign in to the launcher

Use the same username and password you created on the site. The launcher shows your subscription status and remaining days.

At this moment your HWID is bound to the account, tying the subscription to this machine. If you change hardware later you spend one of your plan's HWID resets — full explanation.

5. Pick a tool

ToolWho it is for
No Recoil RainbowSixSiege only, with per-operator profiles
NoRecoil NormalAny other shooter
Classic NoRecoilThe lightweight original build

6. First tune

Before you touch ranked, go to a practice range and set your strength. The tuning guide walks through it.

Do not go straight into ranked on your first run. Ten minutes in a practice range is the difference between a good experience and a frustrating evening.
