Custom Night (FNaF2)

The Custom Night is a playable night in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 that allows the player to control the AI difficulty of each character. The Puppet, however, does not appear in the setup screen, because The Puppets AI is set the exact same for all of Custom Night.

Presets
New to Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is the inclusion of preset game modes in the Custom Night, which have all the characters set to certain difficulties. Winning a preset will reward the player with collectible toys for their desk in The Office, with the exception of 20/20/20/20 mode. The presets are, as follows:



10/20 Mode (Golden Freddy)
Old Strategy (OhLook ItsFnaf's Strategy)

The YouTube channel OhLook ItsFnaf has completed the 10/20 mode of the custom night using the following strategy that the player should follow:

pan the view to the left side (to check the left air vent light), then place your mouse near the lower-left corner (this automatically removes the Freddy Mask once the animatronic has left The Office).
 * 1) Wind the Music Box until Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, Toy Freddy or Golden Freddy forcefully pull down the Monitor.
 * 2) Immediately equip the Freddy Mask,
 * 1) Use the Flashlight to check both air vent lights and the hallway.
 * 2) * If Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, Mangle, or BB appear in the air vents, put on the Freddy Mask. Once they leave, take off the mask and check the lights again.
 * 3) * If no animatronic appears, rewind the Music Box.
 * 4) Repeat.

Like with the first game, this strategy requires impeccable and perfect timing; a slight hiccup could lead to certain death.

New Strategy (Tactic Crew's Strategy)

This strategy was created by the Tactic Crew (Ambience, Tru3P1ay3r, TacticalTime (Was ChezzBall34), ToyBonnie360, RandomFNaFPlayer, and Zombie Gabriel) and this strategy was the strategy that Dawko had used to beat 10/20 mode for his first ever time.


 * 1) Wind the music box until you hear the "Hallway Ambience" and then pull your monitor down and immediatley put on and off your Freddy Mask.
 * 2) Hold your flashlight on Withered Foxy for around 1.5 seconds.
 * 3) Flip the camera back up and wind the music box for 5 "ticks", flip your monitor down and repeat.
 * 4) Once an office animatronic is in your office, always wait an extra .75 second until you take your mask off after the office animatronic leaves the room, your reason for doing this is it will garuntee that Toy Chica, Balloon Boy, and Mangle will be gone and you will not have to deal with them.
 * 5) Flip monitor back up and wind for around 6-8 "ticks".
 * 6) Close monitor and flash Foxy for around 1.5 seconds.
 * 7) Repeat

For an example of this strategy, DJ Sterf on YouTube has a video explaining this more in-depth.

God Strategy (Shooter25's Strategy)

This strategy was created by Shooter25 and has been proven to be the absolute best strategy. Using this strategy will make 85% of runs winnable if done correctly and efficiently.


 * 1) Start a stopwatch right as soon as the office loads in, this will be a very crucial step.
 * 2) Wind the music box until you hear the "Hallway Ambience", immediatley flip your camera down, put the Freddy Mask on, and hold your flashlight on Withered Foxy for around 1.5 seconds. Wind the music box for 5 "ticks" and then repeat.
 * 3) At 0:18.0 you will only hold you flashlight on Withered Foxy until 0:21.5.
 * 4) At 0:21.5 you will start winding the music box until 0:26.0.
 * 5) Flip your camera down now and after the office animatronic has left then wait .75 second to take your mask off (Like in the Tactic Crew's Strategy).
 * 6) Now flash Withered Foxy for 1.5 seconds and check the right vent for Toy Bonnie.

Most of the time Withered Foxy can only kill you on a 10 second interval, but he can't kill you on that interval if either he has been flashed in the past 50 frames or if a blackout is happening. For a better explination of this, go check out Shooter25's video on this, it is on his YouTube channel.

Trivia
Fritz Smith had taken Jeremy's place for all of the Custom Night. However, like Mike Schmidt in the first game, Fritz is fired after the completion of Night 7 (Custom Night) for "tampering with the animatronics" and "odor", though not for general unprofessionalism - the third reason why Mike Schmidt was fired
 * Instead of Jeremy Fitzgerald,

restaurant, with the other two being the previous guards for the night and day shifts.
 * On the slip is a note that states: "First day on the job? Really!?!?"
 * The Pink Slip indicates that Smith is the third employee of
 * Mangle is seen in the Ladies' Night mode. This may have put in to balance the night, as Phone Guy refers to the Mangle as a male, leading to much debate about the character's gender.
 * Although Golden Freddy appeared in the first game, he was not given an official name until the second game, as revealed on the custom night screen.


 * Similar to the first game, setting any animatronics to 0 will not completely deactivate them. Foxy in particular remains a sizeable threat regardless of his difficulty level.
 * This may be a remnant of a problem in which Scott Cawthon made Foxy far too difficult and nearly unbeatable.
 * Show Stage and Parts/Service cameras are always disabled on Custom Night.
 * Although Golden Freddy is generally accepted as a hallucination, the guard on this night manually modifies Golden Freddy's A.I. and even gets fired from this.
