NFA vs FA Accounts Explained (2026)
What NFA and FA accounts are, how Non-Full Access differs from Full Access, the Rust and Arc Raiders hours tiers, and why you claim at purchase.
NFA means Non-Full Access: a ready-made alt account you log into with a loader, without full ownership rights, valid for a short window. FA means Full Access: an account that's properly yours, email included. Neither one includes cheat software, they're accounts to play on. We do NFA for Rust and Arc Raiders, priced by hours played, both on the NFA accounts page. For FA, use G2G.com.
Why buy an account at all?
Because we always recommend cheating on an alt rather than your main, and an account you bought is the cleanest way to have one. Your own account keeps its hours, its skins and its rank, and whatever happens on the alt stays on the alt.
That's the whole job these do. They're not a cheat and they're not a shortcut around buying one, they're just a body to play on.
NFA vs FA: the difference
Both are accounts you buy rather than accounts you made. The difference is how much of the account is actually yours once money changes hands.
| NFA (Non-Full Access) | FA (Full Access) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns it | Not you, you get access | You, outright |
| Email access | No | Yes |
| Change the details | No | Yes |
| How long it lasts | Typically 1 to 7 days | Indefinitely, it's yours |
| Price | Cheaper | Typically around $10 |
| Cheat software included | No, that's a separate purchase | No |
| Refunds | No, there's no ownership to transfer | Depends on the seller |
| Good for | Rage cheating, or ban evading | Keeping it long term |
| Where to get one | Here | G2G.com |
Short version: NFA is the throwaway, FA is the keeper. Rage cheating or getting back into a lobby after a ban? NFA is the cheap way. Want an account that's still yours next month? That's FA.
What NFA actually means
NFA is short for Non-Full Access. You get the account and you get to play on it, but you don't get full ownership rights the way you would with an account you made yourself. No email access, no changing the credentials, and it's yours for the window on the listing rather than forever, typically 1 to 7 days.
Worth clearing up, because people online guess it stands for "no flags attached" or similar. It doesn't. Non-Full Access is the whole thing, and it explains everything else about how these work, refunds included.
What you actually get
You buy, and you get a key plus a loader. You put the key into the loader and it logs you into the account. That's it, that's the whole process, and there's nothing to install beyond the loader itself.
Two things worth being straight about:
- No cheat access is included. It's an account, not a cheat. If you want software to run on it, that's a separate purchase, and the per-game guides at the bottom cover what we do.
- No refunds on NFA accounts. There's no ownership to transfer back, so this is stated on the listings and it's worth knowing before you buy rather than after.
Claim it at purchase
Claim your account the moment you buy it. Leave it sitting and the account can become invalid, and we can't guarantee stock either, so you might end up waiting on a restock instead of playing.
That's genuinely the only part people trip over. Everything else here is easy, but the window doesn't wait for you and neither does the stock. Buy it when you're ready to play it, not days ahead.
Rust Account NFA
A ready-made Rust account, delivered as a key and a loader. Priced by hours played, and the tiers run from fresh right up to properly veteran:
- 0 to 100 hours
- 100 to 500 hours
- 500 to 1,000 hours
- 1,000 to 1,500 hours
- 1,500 to 2,000 hours
- 2,000 to 5,000 hours
- 5,000+ hours
Live stock and pricing per tier are on the Rust Account NFA page.
Arc Raiders NFA Accounts
Same deal for Arc Raiders, key plus loader, priced by hours played. The tiers are tighter here since it's a newer game:
- 0 to 25 hours
- 25 to 50 hours
- 50 to 100 hours
- 100 to 200 hours
- 200 to 300 hours
- 300+ hours
Live stock and pricing per tier are on the Arc Raiders NFA Accounts page.
How hours tiers work, and which to pick
The tier changes what you pay and how the account reads in-game. A 5,000 hour Rust account looks like someone who's been playing for years; a 0 to 100 hour one looks exactly like what it is, a fresh account. Higher tiers cost more for that reason.
If you're going loud and expect the session to be short, the cheapest tier does the job. If you'd rather not stand out the moment you join a server, pay up a tier or two. Prices move with stock and demand, so the product page is the only thing that'll tell you what's available today.
What FA means
FA is Full Access: the account is properly yours. You get the email, you can change the password and the details, and you keep it as long as you like. You're paying for ownership rather than a window of access, typically around $10 depending on the game and the account.
It's the one to go for if you want an alt that sticks around, rather than something to burn through this weekend.
Where to buy FA accounts
We don't sell FA accounts, so for those go to G2G.com. It's the biggest marketplace for game accounts going, there are always FA listings up across the games people actually play, and orders run through their buyer protection rather than a random DM.
Buy FA from G2G.com when you want an alt to keep and own outright, usually around $10. Buy NFA here when it's a throwaway: rage cheating, or getting straight back into a lobby after a ban.
Which should you buy?
Rage cheating
NFA. It's cheap and it's meant to be thrown away, so there's nothing to lose when the session ends how you expect.
Getting back in after a ban
NFA. Fastest, cheapest way back into a lobby without touching anything of your own. Pair it with the ban evasion guides for Rust or Arc Raiders.
Want an alt that lasts
FA from G2G.com, typically around $10. You own it, so it's there next month too.
Want to keep your own progress
Neither. Run software on your own account instead, linked at the bottom.
Pairing an account with software
Since an account doesn't come with a cheat, most people buying one also buy a key. Whichever account you're on, the software works the same way, and it's a separate purchase either way. Our Rust and Arc Raiders builds are the obvious pairing with these accounts:
- Disconnect Rust Internal or Disconnect Rust External: aimbot with silent aim, player ESP and no fall damage.
- Inferno Arc Raiders External: aimbot, player ESP and advanced movement control.
And a reminder that an account is not internal or external. Those words describe software and where it runs. The two are separate decisions.
What happens after you buy
Delivery's instant. Once payment confirms, your key gets generated and sent automatically, no queue and nobody to chase. Card, PayPal, and crypto are at checkout depending on the product.
Then claim it, straight away. If anything doesn't look right when you go to, come and say so rather than sitting on it, because the window's already running. Support's on Discord at discord.gg/emporiumservices.
Stuff worth avoiding
Buying an NFA to save for later
The single most common mistake. Claim it when you buy it, or it can go invalid and the stock may be gone.
Expecting to own it
Non-Full Access is right there in the name, and it's why there are no refunds. Want ownership? Buy FA.
Expecting a cheat with it
It's an account. Software is a separate purchase.
Grabbing the cheapest tier blind
Very low hours reads as obviously fresh the second you join. Worth a thought.

Browse NFA accountsFrequently asked questions
What does NFA mean?
Non-Full Access. A ready-made account you can play on, delivered as a key and a loader, but without full ownership rights. It does not stand for "no flags attached", despite what you'll read on some forums.
Does an NFA account come with a cheat?
No. It's an account, not a cheat. Software is a separate purchase, and the per-game guides cover what we do for each title.
What does FA mean?
Full Access: an account that's properly yours, email included, so you can change the details and keep it as long as you want. Typically around $10 depending on the game and the account.
What's the difference between NFA and FA?
Ownership. With FA you get the email and the account is yours to keep, typically around $10. With NFA you get access for 1 to 7 days at a lower price. NFA is the throwaway, FA is the keeper.
Can I get a refund on an NFA account?
No. There's no ownership to transfer back, which is why it's stated on the listings. Worth knowing before you buy rather than after.
Do I need to claim it straight away?
Yes. Claim it the moment you buy, or the account can become invalid, and stock isn't guaranteed if you leave it, so you may end up waiting on a restock.
How long is an NFA account valid?
Typically 1 to 7 days, and the window runs from purchase. That's why claiming straight away matters.
Where do I buy an FA account?
G2G.com, where they typically run around $10. We don't sell FA accounts. It's the biggest marketplace for game accounts, there are always FA listings across the popular games, and orders go through their buyer protection rather than a private deal.
What's an hours tier?
Our NFA accounts are priced by hours played on the account rather than one flat rate. Rust runs from 0-100 hours up to 5,000+, and Arc Raiders from 0-25 hours up to 300+. More hours reads as an established player and costs more.
Which hours tier should I pick?
If the session's going to be short and loud, the cheapest tier does the job. If you'd rather not look like a brand new account the second you join, go up a tier or two.
Why would I buy an account instead of using my own?
Because we always recommend cheating on an alt rather than your main. Your own account keeps its hours, skins and rank, and whatever happens on the alt stays there.
Is an NFA account internal or external?
Neither. Internal and external describe cheat software and where it runs. NFA and FA describe accounts and how much of the account is yours. Two separate purchases, two separate decisions.
How fast is delivery?
Instant. Your key is generated and sent automatically as soon as payment confirms, then you claim the account with the loader.
Why are NFA accounts so cheap?
Because you're buying access, not ownership. No email, no ownership transfer, and a set validity window is a lot less to pay for than an account that's yours forever, which is exactly what makes NFA the right price for a throwaway alt.
