GREAT!! (Now get out.) note: First day on the job? Really?!?!
The message given to Fritz, Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Fritz Smith is a one-time security guard of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and a second character whom the player played as in Five Nights at Freddy's 2.

Personality[]

Throughout the entire night, Fritz is functionally identical to Jeremy Fitzgerald in every way. Strangely, he even sounds exactly the same as Jeremy when breathing with the Freddy Fazbear Head on. However, based on the fact that his notice of termination listed "odor" as one of the reasons for him being fired, it is possible that he was also sweating and/or releasing bodily fluids similar to Mike Schmidt, suggesting a panicked, nervous behavior. He seems to be, like Mike from the first game, a competent technician, being able to tamper with the animatronics, which ultimately led to being fired.

Role[]

After Jeremy Fitzgerald completes Night 6, he is presumably moved over to day shift. Fritz takes over for Night 7, but is immediately fired the following day for tampering with the animatronics.

Trivia[]

  • Similar to Mike from the first game, Fritz was fired for "tampering with the animatronics" and "odor" upon completing the Custom Night. However, unlike Mike, Fritz was not given "general unprofessionalism" as a reason for his termination.
    • Because of this, some people theorize that Fritz is Michael Afton under a fake alias (as with Mike Schmidt), with him trying to fend off animatronics by frantically raising/lowering the animatronics' AI and his "odor" actually coming from Mike's rotting corpse.
    • Evidence against this includes Tape Girl saying on Tape #8 that Fazbear Entertainment is always getting ready to fire someone, even for silly things, which may indicate that the similar firing reasons are a coincidence.
    • Another evidence is Tales from the Pizzaplex 8: B7-2, in the story of Dittophobia it implies that Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location takes place after the first Five Nights at Freddy's. This would make it unlikely for Michael to be scooped back then, though it could also be possible that Mike generally had bad odor even before being scooped.
  • On Fritz's pink slip, it reads that Fritz is the third employee, hinting that there was a first employee who took the night-shift job before Jeremy.
    • This is also hinted by Phone Guy saying that the guy who worked before Jeremy was complaining about "conditions", and how the animatronics attempted to enter the office. The first employee was then put on the day shift.
  • Fritz's breathing while wearing the Freddy Fazbear Head sounds exactly the same as Jeremy Fitzgerald's.
    • This may be due to game engine limitations only allowing for one breathing sound effect, or it may be an oversight by Scott Cawthon.
  • Fritz Smith is a combination of the two main guard's names: Mike Schmidt (Smith), and Jeremy Fitzgerald (Fritz).
