Multiple streamers residing in the FaZe Clan content house were in the midst of a live broadcast when they experienced a swatting incident, resulting in frustration after law enforcement thoroughly searched their home as part of the investigation.
Swatting has become a disturbing trend threatening numerous prominent content creators. High-profile names, including Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, and xQc, have fallen victim to this perilous prank over the years.
Swatting involves a malicious caller who falsely reports a severe incident, prompting a rapid response from heavily armed police forces to the targeted person’s residence.
FaZe Clan Swatted During Extended Streaming Event
On April 3, 2025, the FaZe Clan creator house was swatted while streamers StableRonaldo and FaZe Adapt were engaged in a Warzone live stream.
Viewers were taken aback as they heard police outside the house using a megaphone, instructing the influencers to exit with their hands raised. Once StableRonaldo stepped away from his streaming setup, his camera inadvertently captured an officer searching through his room, leaving onlookers stunned.
Following the swatting incident, streamer Jasontheween returned to see his room in disarray, expressing his dismay at how police had disrupted his space during their search.
“They definitely walked through my room, because all my clothes are on the ground, bro. My PC was all shuffled. There’s junk scattered around. Police, could you at least be respectful and put everything back?”
“I recognize that you’re doing your jobs, but come on! I didn’t do anything! They just tossed my laundry around without a care.”

This swatting incident occurred during the group’s month-long subathon, specifically on the third day, which raised concerns about the safety of streamers amidst such occurrences. Fortunately, the streamers involved emerged unharmed, but the event underscores a troubling trend of violence against content creators recently.
In another alarming case, renowned Twitch streamer Amouranth was assaulted by three armed intruders in her home, who aimed to steal her cryptocurrency wallet. Similarly, fellow streamers Valkyrae, Cinna, and Emiru faced threats from an intense fan during a live stream at Santa Monica Pier.
In a separate incident, Emiru encountered a stalker during a live broadcast. The surge of such hostile incidents has raised alarm within the streaming community, leaving many creators fearful of their personal safety, both within and outside their homes, exemplified by the recent swatting episode involving FaZe Clan.
