To engage in ‘swatting’ is a crime, and perpetrators have been sent to prison for up to twenty years in the past. It is a fairly common occurrence in the gaming world, and many Fortnite streamers including Tfue have been ‘swatted’ in the past. With Clix however, this was not the first time something like this has happened.

Fortnite Pro ‘Clix’ has been swatted a total of three times now.

As previously mentioned, Clix has been swatted twice while streaming Fortnite live. The first incident occurred in October 2019. His team was in the middle of a Fortnite tournament, and he had to leave mid-way when he realized that his house was swarming with authorities. You can watch the video of the incident below.

As you can see, he stops playing for around ten minutes, then comes back and explains what exactly happened. His team however, goes on to win the game they were playing. Regardless, he appears scared and shaken. He posted the following on Twitter back then.

Swatting is so disgusting, whats the point of it.

The second incident happened earlier this year. This time, he appears less scared, and mutters “I am getting swatted. I got to go”, before leaving the room. Upon his return a few minutes later, he appears frustrated, and says that “he doesn’t get the point behind it.” He goes on to explain that he is only 15, and it is a scary experience for him each time.

You can watch the incident and his reaction below. As you can see, the incident took place merely an hour after he was talking about the first Swatting incident.

Now, on the 25th of July, Clix posted the following on his Twitter account:

Regardless, swatting is a crime, and can have quite a bit of emotional and mental toll on the victim and his family. Hence, it should simply never be done.
