Are Custom Perk Icons Still Bannable?
Heard if EAC for some reason picks up that you toyed with a perk icon and get auto hammered you're SOL as far as BHVR is concerned, is this something that can actually happen?
Would really like to replace a few icons for the memes but I'm not looking to lose 1,000 hours of progress.

Its use at your own risk. If you get banned by EAC you have to contact EAC.

No, I have not seen or heard a case were EAC banned someone for custome icons. If they did a lot of Streamers like Farmer John, Noob3, and others would of been banned a long time ago.

The official stance is:
BHVR won't intentionally ban you for it, but they won't undo a ban if you get flagged by EAC

Has that ever happened? Is there an actual risk to this? I'd be irate if I lost 1,000 hours of progress over custom perk icons that don't affect the game in any way.
That said if it's completely safe it'd be nice to add a few funny images.

EAC won't pick up on perk icons being different, as long as you don't screw with the game itself. Buta fair bit of warning, if for whatever reason it does ban you for altering them, BHVR won't unban you.

Yeah I know that's the official position but in the 3 years of this game's history has it actually happened?

If you get banned by EAC, BHVR won't be able to help you because that's between you and the EAC. However, that doesn't mean it's game over, you can still contact EAC and appeal the ban if you're lucky.

EAC stated, that they do not care about changing the icons. The devs do not care either about that, so it's completely without risk.
I found this reddit thread about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/PerkByDaylight/comments/bnukl6/not_mine_an_email_response_from_eac_regarding/

I read that and it basically said "Ask BHVR" and they in turn say "Ask EAC."
This is a Mom: "Ask your dad," Dad: "Ask your mom," loop.
