The Animatronic

The Animatronic

Difficulty: Intermediate · Patch 10.2.2, data from October 28, 2026.

Power

Fazbear's Fright

Fazbear's Fright: a thrown fire axe (1 s wind-up, 16 m max) that removes a Health State; Security Doors and cameras.

Full power text

The Animatronic lived to kill, even when his mechanical costume became his tomb.

SPECIAL ABILITY: FIRE AXE

The Animatronic is armed with a Fire Axe that he can throw at Survivors. If the Fire Axe hits a Survivor, the weapon becomes embedded in them, afflicting them with Broken & Oblivious until it is removed.

SPECIAL MAP FEATURE: SECURITY SYSTEM

At the start of the trial, 7 Security Doors are spawned randomly throughout the map. These Doors can be accessed by both Survivors and The Animatronic.

Each Security Door has a Camera attached to it. Interacting with the Door gives the Survivor access to the Camera View, allowing the Survivor to cycle through every Camera in the map, travel to the Door they are currently looking through, and potentially reveal The Animatronic's aura to the team.

Using the Cameras and Doors too often will deplete the limited battery power available, forcing Survivors to wait until the system reboots. The Animatronic may travel between Security Doors with or without battery power.

If The Animatronic enters a Security Door, they may choose to exit from any other Door in the map. Moving to a Door already in use by a Survivor will cause The Animatronic to grab that Survivor.

Upon entering a Security Door, The Animatronic gains the Undetectable status effect. The effect lasts 20 seconds after exiting a Security Door, or until revealed by a Survivor on a Security Cam
