Fortnite pro Clix swatted live on stream during FNCS tournament Professional Fortnite player and streamer Cody \u2018Clix\u2019 Conrad was playing in the Fortnite Champion Series with his squad when he was swatted during a live broadcast. During a match on October 26, during an FNCS match, Clix had to leave his stream and teammates behind as he discovered somebody called the police to his residence. The timing caught everyone off guard, as Clix abruptly announced to his team and viewers that he had been \u2018swatted\u2019 \u2013 a cruel and dangerous hoax where someone calls authorities to falsify a report of a crime in the hopes of sending armed officers to the scene. The trick is often played on streamers, as the culprit knows the ensuing choas is likely to be captured on their broadcasts. \u201cPolice are here,\u201d Clix exclaimed, seemingly out of nowhere, shocking his viewers. \u201cYo, I just got swatted.\u201d Luckily, nobody was harmed as a result and Clix\u2019s team was even able to take home the victory in the match it happened. Clix had already been eliminated by that point so his departure didn\u2019t hurt his team. Despite everything turning out fine, Clix was still shaken by what happened and condemned the act on social media, writing \u201cSwatting is so disgusting, what\u2019s the point of it,\u201d he tweeted. Clix is just the latest in a string of streamers that have been swatted this year, and he\u2019s not even the first Fortnite player to fall victim to the crime. Shortly after bringing home a victory at the Fortnite World Cup, Kyle \u2018Bugha\u2019 Giersdorf was swatted during his Twitch stream, where he had to take a roughly 10-minute break from the broadcast to address it.

The infamous Call of Duty swatter Tyler Barriss was sentenced to prison as a result of getting somebody killed by police as a result of his \u201cprank\u201d he played. Unfortunately, it appears that his story has taught future swatters any lessons as they keep happening. Many big streamers work something out with the local police to let them know who they are so the law enforcement will be aware of something like a swatting happening. Hopefully, Clix will be able to move on from this and continue his dominance in FNCS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
