The Map Bot is a neutral S.T.A.F.F. Bot who acts as a Map Vendor, giving the player maps in certain areas of Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. It debuted in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, and later returned in the game's DLC, RUIN as Mask Bot. Mask Bot would also later make a small cameo in FNaF: Help Wanted 2.
Appearance[]
Map Bot is a regular S.T.A.F.F. Bot with a yellow chest that holds a large lowercase "i" on it. It also wears a blue sun hat and a pair of large black glasses. Finally, it wears two small storage folds that hold maps in them around its waist.
Mask Bot is near identical to Map Bot, with the only notable exception being the lack of a hat, and the new addition of two ears made up of pieces the shell on Mask Bot's head being peeled upwards. As well as this, Mask Bot is noticeably dirty, and its storage folds no longer have any maps inside it.
Behavior[]
Security Breach[]
Map Bot is encountered twice within Security Breach. The first time it is encountered, it stops the player outside the elevator to give them a map. They do the same again right after Moon drags Freddy away to Parts and Service.
Map Bot stops the player by forcibly grabbing and jumpscaring them, and then refusing to let them continue onwards until they accept its map. Accepting the map then expands the map on the Faz-Watch, and allows the player to continue onwards.
In RUIN, Map Bot returns as Mask Bot. It is encountered at the start of the game within Monty Golf. It behaves identically to how it behaves in the base game, with the only difference being that it hands out the Security Mask rather than a map. It deactivates right after Cassie takes the mask from it, and remains in that spot for the remainder of the DLC.
Help Wanted 2[]
Mask Bot returns for a small cameo in Help Wanted 2, acting as a major part of the game's Faz Force Ending. In this ending, the player sees through Mask Bot's vision just as it hands Cassie the Security Mask. At the same moment of Mask Bot deactivating, the player's view gets cut out. After this, Mask Bot handing Cassie a Security Mask is unlocked as a statue for the gallery.
Trivia[]
- It was noted by Ray McCaffrey that Map Bot caused more bugs than any other character, leading Ray to jokingly request that Map Bot be thrown into a volcano.[2]
- This was also referenced in promotional Valentines, where Map Bot's valentine was directed towards Ray, and featured a volcano.
- Before the release of RUIN, Ray McCaffrey noted on Twitter that Map Bot would not be included in the DLC. This joke ended up being technically true, as Map Bot is now Mask Bot.

- ↑ Most S.T.A.F.F. Bots have both masculine and feminine voices for their lines, which are interchangeable in-game.
- ↑ Map Bot caused more bugs than any other character in the game (we’d fix them, he’d break them, repeat) and despite my constant requests to throw him into a volcano, the team wouldn’t let me.
