Strategy:

  1. The 'Flicker' Strategy: This is the only viable strategy. You must rapidly cycle between CAM 1C (Foxy), Left Door Light, Right Door Light, and CAM 4A/4B (Freddy). Each action should be a quick 'flick' – press, see, release.
  2. Foxy Priority: Foxy is still the highest priority. Check CAM 1C every 1-2 seconds. If he's gone, close the left door immediately.
  3. Bonnie & Chica: Rely almost entirely on audio cues. The moment you hear breathing, close the door. Open it the instant the sound stops. Do not waste a single millisecond.
  4. Freddy: You must check CAM 4A or CAM 4B to deter him. If he's at CAM 4B, you must see him on camera to reset his position. If he's at your right door, close it. His laugh will be almost constant.
  5. Power Conservation: You will run out of power. The goal is to survive until 6 AM before that happens. This means absolutely no wasted power. Your camera usage should be minimal, and doors should only be closed for the briefest possible moments.
  6. Rhythm and Muscle Memory: 4/20 Mode is about developing a precise rhythm and muscle memory. Practice the flicker strategy until it becomes second nature.

Power Management:

Power management in 4/20 Mode is the most extreme challenge. You will be operating on fumes for the majority of the night. Every single action must be perfectly timed and executed to conserve power. Expect to finish with 0% power, hoping 6 AM hits just before Freddy gets you. This is the ultimate test of efficiency.
