How 50/20 mode was possible!

[Ender]

Lets start by considering 4/20 in Fnaf 1. That was a pretty hard challenge, right? So it stands to reason that 50/20 in Ultimate Custom Night would be about 13 times harder, which would render it completely impossible. However, we can prove it IS possible because, well, people have done it. This means that the animatronics in the game are at least somewhat easier to handle or aren't as active as they are in the previous games. And I'm going to tell you all why.

First of all, yes, after some research I figured out all of the animatronics we've seen before are at least SOMEWHAT less active than they were in the previous games, probably to make higher difficulties easier to complete.

Another thing that makes it easier is the ability to "group" the animatronics together (for instance, closing the front vent door when you pull up the camera to take care of the vent animatronics, placing the audio lure to take care of the duct animatronics, using the Global Music Box for the Marionette, Chica, and Lefty, etc.)

And next, it's the use of sneaky strategies/glitches. For instance, watching the Plush animatronics on the cameras to keep them from coming inside (called Camera Stalling) rather than having to purchase their plushes, or placing the wet floor sign on the right hallway and closing the left door whenever you flip up the camera to keep Rockstar Chica out. These are all very beneficial to the gameplay and make the mode a lot easier, whereas in the previous games there were only pretty straightforward ways to take care of the animatronics, making it harder to glitch them and forcing you to use most of your time doing it the correct way.

Next, it's the gadgets. See, in most of the fnaf games we didn't have all of the fancy technology like Global Music Boxes, Power Generators, Silent Ventillation, and even Death Coins. These are all extremely helpful as well and are good for maintaining power and temp levels.

And last, but not least, it's the animatronics themselves. If you've payed attention to the roster, you can tell that a total of 15 of them (including a few on DD's roster) are only implemented to distract you or trigger other animatronics, and they can't actually kill you themselves. This means there are a lot less animatronics that can actually kill you, making the mode extremely easier.

I hope you found this list of ideas useful, and I tried to go into detail about what makes 50/20 mode possible and how it was done. If you have any suggestions, be sure to leave them in the comments section!

Exactly :P
I'm not sure if Scott implemented all this to make 50/20 easier, or if he never dreamed we'd be able to take it this far

Actually, it's not glitches at all. Camera stalling has always been a thing in these games. It just wasn't meant to be used like that.

Also to add onto your last point, i'm gonna make a list of the animatronics that can only distract you and/or cannot kill you.

• Helpy
  
  
• BB
  
  
• JJ
  
  
• Phantom Mangle
  
  
• Bonnie
  
  
• Phantom Freddy
  
  
• Phantom BB
  
  
• TatG
  
  
• El Chip
  
  
• Funtime Chica
  
  
• Phone Guy
  
  
• Lolbit
  
  
• RXQ
  
  
• Minireenas
  
  
• OMC
  
  
  Rockstar Foxy also cannot kill you if you just don't click on his parrot so he could also be counted.
