I am going to show you how to install Hard Nox build on Kodi 19 Matrix. The images in this guide were captured on a computer, but the process works just as well on all other Kodi-compatible devices, such as FireStick, Android TV, and Android and iOS mobile devices.
Please note that the Hard Nox Build has been rebranded and is now now available as Ultra build.
Kodi’s true potential is unleashed through add-ons that are abundantly available on the web. But, there are so many of them to choose from, I often get confused. Yes, I can handpick and install some popular addons, but I am always in need of more. There is so much to watch, and I can’t always pick the right addon. That’s the reason why I have started relying on Kodi builds like HardNox.
A build like HardNox makes my life easier and my Kodi experience a whole lot better. This build packages tons of top-quality add-ons for a wide range of streaming choices. Whether you want to watch movies, TV shows, news, sports content, adult stuff, or even live TV, HardNox Kodi build has it all for you. And, before I forget, let me tell you that most stuff here is free.
Let me guide you through the step-by-step process to install Hard Nox build on Kodi.
Attention, Kodi Users!
Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).
I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3-months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.

How to Install HardNox Kodi Build
Now, I am going to show you how to install the HardNox build on Kodi. The process is a little lengthy. Therefore, I will divide it into five easy parts. Here is how we will proceed:
Part 1: Enable unknown sources
Part 2: Add the source to install the Misfit Mods repository
Part 3: Install the Misfit Mods repository from the source
Part 4: Install Misfit Mods Wizard from the repository
Part 5: Install the HardNox Kodi build from the Misfit Mods Wizard
Let’s now go through each part one by one.

Part 1: Enable Unknown Sources
You probably already know that Kodi has a security setting that doesn’t let you install the third-party builds and addons by default. So, before we start with the HardNox installation, there’s a setting we are going to change. Here is what we need to do:
1. From the Kodi home screen, click the settings gear in the upper-left corner.
2. Click System.
3. Select the Add-ons tab on the left. On the right of the window, you will see Unknown Sources and a switch next to it. Click the switch to the on position.
4. A prompt will appear asking for your confirmation. Click Yes to proceed. HardNox is safe, so don’t worry.
Part 2: Add the Repository Source
Follow the steps below to add the source:
1. Return to the home screen of Kodi and click settings on the upper-left corner, just under the Kodi logo.
2. Click File manager from the list of the available options on the next screen.
3. Now click Add source.
4. Next, click on <None> as you can see in the image below.
5. A new window will pop up with an onscreen keyboard. Enter the URL of the Misfit Mods source: http://misfitmods.com/mmwiz/repo/
It is important to enter the URL exactly as shown here. Typos will lead to errors and installation problems. Click OK when you are done typing.
6. Click the input box under Enter a name for this media source.
7. Type in misfit and click OK to confirm the name changes.
8. Click OK to save the changes.
This adds the source. Now, let’s install the Misfit Mods repository.
Part 3: Install the Misfit Mods Repository
Follow the easy steps below to install the repository on your Kodi app:
1. Go back to the Kodi home-screen and from there click settings gear again.
2. On the top-left side, click Add-ons.
3. Next, select Install from zip file.
4. You will see an additional popup on Kodi 19 at this point. Click Yes to continue.
5. Now, scroll down a bit (if you have to), and you should see the source name you added earlier. In our case, we will click misfit.
6. You should now see a bunch of folders and zip files. Click the file named repository.misfitmods.zip.
7. This will start installing the Misfit Mods repository, from which we will later install the Misfit Mods Wizard and eventually the HardNox build on Kodi.
Just wait for the misfit mods: Repository Add-on installed notification, as you can see on the top-right of the image below.
That’s it! You have installed the repository. Now we will install the Misfit Mods Wizard.
Part 4: Install the Misfit Mods Wizard
Here is what you need to do:
1. Click Install from repository.
2. Click misfit mods: Repository.
3. Click Program add-ons.
4. Now click Misfit Mods Wizard or Misfit Mods Wizard 19.
5. Click Install on the bottom left (as shown in the image below).
6. Click OK to install additional dependencies for the wizard.
7. When you see the Add-on installed notification (like in the image below), it means that the Wizard has been installed.
8. You will see a pop-up asking whether you would like to enable any of the listed settings. I am clicking Continue as I have nothing to change. If you want to enable any settings, click them before hitting Continue.
9. One more prompt will appear. To go to the build menu directly, click the Build Menu button. I am clicking Ignore because I will show you how to get to the build menu from the home screen of Kodi.
Now, we are going to install the HardNox Kodi build from the Misfit Mods Wizard.
Part 5: Install HardNox Build on Kodi
This is the final part of the process and usually takes the longest. Here’s what to do.
1. From the Kodi home screen, go to Add-ons > Program Add-ons. In this section, you will find the Misfit Mods Wizard icon. Click the icon to open the wizard.
2. Next, click the Builds folder.
3. Click the Ultra build. It is the rebranded version of the Hard Nox Build.
4. Scroll down and select Install.
5. Click Yes, Install.
6. Wait for the HardNox Kodi build to download and install.
7. When the build is installed, a prompt will appear. Click OK to force-close Kodi.
8. You have successfully installed the HardNox build on Kodi. Now, run Kodi again, and you will see that the appearance has changed.
Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.
NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.
So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.
Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.
The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.
Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if not subscribed already).
Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).
Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select when it shows up.
Step 7: Click Download.
Step 8: Open the ExpressVPN app and Sign in using the email ID and password that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription.
Step 9: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your FireStick is now secured with the fastest VPN.
This is what the home screen of Kodi looks like with the HardNox Xtreme Kodi build. By default, the My Addons section is selected in the menu. As expected, the build is packed with preinstalled addons.
If you go to Add-ons > Video add-ons from the home screen, you will see the list of all the content-related addons (see the image below). As you can see, there are some solid addons such as DeathStar, The Magic Dragon, 7 Of 9, Seren, and others.
The HardNox build for Kodi has addons for all types of content, including movies, TV shows, sports, live TV, and a lot more.
Wrapping Up
The beauty of Kodi lies in the addons and the builds like Hard Nox, which make sure you don’t have to work hard to get great content. As is evident, the Hard Nox Kodi build packs some of the best Kodi addons. What I also like about Hard Nox Kodi build is that it does not slow down my device. It is lighter than a lot of other builds and works smoothly even on Firestick. I have used HardNox build on FireStick and other devices and barely experienced any performance differences. All in all, it is one solid Kodi build and certainly deserves a try.
