FNAF 2 is the second selectable game mode in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted. This mode brings the player back to the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 location and requires the player to play as the night guard and survive until 6 AM.
Similar to the FNAF 1 segment, the player must stay in their Office and survive until 6 AM while defending against the animatronics. The player can check the cameras as well as the hallway and the vents to follow the animatronic's movements. While there are no doors to close, the player can wear the Freddy Fazbear Head to fend off the animatronics that enter the Office. The player must also wind up the Music Box in the meantime, and shine their Hall Light towards Withered Foxy when he appears in the hallway.
The Gameplay for FNAF 2 is different from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. There is no longer a flashlight (and therefore no power meter), and it is instead replaced with three light buttons on the desk. Withered Freddy, Withered Bonnie, and Withered Chica are no longer active in the main 5 nights, so the toy animatronics instead become more active with each night.
However, a new "Withered" night was added to the Blacklight Levels on September 14. Withered Freddy, Withered Bonnie, and Withered Chica make an appearance as additional threats to the player. There is a lever that changes the difficulty of the night here, having the options of "Easy," "Medium," and "Danger."
The Freddy Fazbear Head must also be manually grabbed (from the left side of the player) and placed on their face. The Music Box also winds much slower than in the normal game.
Segments[]

Night 1[]
Icon
In the first night of this section, Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica will be notably active. Just like most of the animatronics in the game, the player must wear the Freddy Fazbear Head to defend themselves when an animatronic is about to attack the Office. Toy Bonnie appears in the right vent and Toy Chica appears in the left vent. The Puppet will also be active in this night and needs to be taken care of by winding up the music box, but the Music Box only begins to wind down after Ralph mentions it in his phone call. Others will stay inactive and stay in their own respective places.
Night 2[]
Icon
In Night 2, Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica become more active. Toy Freddy, Balloon Boy, and Withered Foxy also activate in this night. Toy Freddy will stand in the doorway to the office for an extended period of time before marching into the Office to attack, at which point he must be fended off with the Freddy Fazbear mask like Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica. Balloon Boy will appear in the left vent and can similarly be fended off with the Freddy Fazbear mask, although if the player fails to do so he will deactivate the lights instead of outright killing you similarly to how he behaves in the original FNaF 2. Withered Foxy can only be fended off by shining the Hall Light at him. Mangle can appear on this night as well, but often activates very late into the night and is not yet a threat.
Night 3[]
Icon
Night 3 contains all of the same animatronics as Night 2, with Mangle now more actively pursuing the player, which concludes every animatronic in the segment. Mangle's behavior is notably different from its original counterpart in that it does not emit any static noise and will behave similarly to the other animatronics that are stopped by the Freddy Fazbear mask, although it can attack from either the right vent or directly from the hallway. As usual, all the animatronics' AI becomes more aggressive.
Night 4[]
Icon
Night 4 is the same as Night 3 except all animatronics become more active.
Blacklight Levels[]
Night 5[]
Icon
In Night 5, the Office becomes darker and the color scheme being changed to a blacklight palette. However, there are no notable changes in term of gameplay except for the more aggressive animatronics AIs.
Withered[]
Icon
The color scheme is red, and the other withered animatronics are present, making the night more difficult. Like in the original game, Withered Bonnie and Withered Chica must be warded off with the Freddy Head as soon as they enter the Office and cause the lights to flicker. However, unlike Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica, they will not appear in the vent entrance, giving the player little time to put on the Freddy Fazbear mask before they initiate their attack. Withered Bonnie can also attack the office directly from the hallway. Withered Freddy functions exactly like Toy Freddy, and Withered Foxy functions as he does in the main nights. A lever can be pulled so that the difficulty can be made easier or harder. In "Danger" mode specifically, Withered Foxy will always start in one of the two doorways closest to the Office, meaning that the player will have less time to fend him off before he leaps at the player and kills them.
Coins[]
There is a coin hidden behind the monitor on the desk.
In Flat Mode, this coin is on the floor to your left next to the boxes.
If the player puts on the Freddy Fazbear Head, a coin will appear by the clock on the desk.
When the Puppet is on its way to attack, a coin can be found on the desk.
Trivia[]
Every Night in this mode is 5 minutes and 14 seconds long.
A tape used to sit on the floor near the box to the right of the player. It has since been removed.
Before the withered animatronics were added to the game, Foxy's classic model was used as a placeholder for Withered Foxy. Withered Foxy's model was found in the game files, albeit unfinished.
In the "Withered" level (added September 14 via patch), there was a glitch where Withered Freddy and Toy Freddy would stand in the same place when they are almost ready to enter the Office. This was later fixed in the next patch.
Ralph's Night 6 phone call plays during this night on Danger difficulty.
This is also the only level in the game to have a difficulty lever.
The bare endoskeleton standing in the Office.
Rarely, Endo-02 from the original game will stand on the right side of the Office for the entirety of the Night.
This game has the only time in the franchise that the animatronics actually move on camera instead of teleporting after dimming the light or showing static.
Also, players can see Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, and Withered Freddy walking outside the Office in the hallway, Toy Freddy, Mangle, and Withered Bonnie moving into the Office from the front hallway, Balloon Boy running out of the Office after the player wears the mask, Withered Foxy charging at the player if they don't flash him, and the Puppet walking down the hallway before its jumpscare.
The paper scraps and paper cups on the table can be held.
There are plushies (Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy), microphones and Mr. Cupcake in the back.
Mr. Cupcake can be held.
In Five Nights At Freddy's (VR), the withered animatronics are not as difficult to defend against. Normally in the original game the withered animatronics would give you one second to put on the mask before you being killed. In VR this isn't true.
