Forsaken AR: Disable Invisible Animatronic & Fix Foxy Camera

Learn how to find and disable invisible haywire animatronics in Forsaken AR using decloaking charges and shockers. Fix stuck Foxy camera with shakes, flashlight toggles, and restarts. Step-by-step guide for beginners.

In Forsaken AR, how do I find and disable an invisible animatronic? I hear it walking and running, see brief screen glitches and interference that appear for a few seconds then disappear, feel vibration, but it kills me when I turn around. Also, the camera refuses to turn when trying to catch Foxy. I’m new to the game.

Hear footsteps, brief screen static and vibration? In Forsaken AR those are the classic haywire cues for an invisible animatronic—don’t turn to stare. Instead face away or the floor, trigger a Decloaking Charge to force a decloak, then hit the shocker (lightning‑bolt) when its eyes or full model appear to disable it; if Foxy’s camera won’t turn, shake your device or toggle the flashlight (or use a Decloaking Charge) to clear interference so the camera will unlock.

How invisible animatronics behave in Forsaken AR

You’re getting three reliable signals: brief visual interference (static/flicker), audible footsteps or running, and device vibration. Those cues are the game’s way of telling you a haywire (invisible) animatronic is nearby—turning to look usually gets you killed because many haywire enemies trigger an immediate attack if you face them during the haywire event. The Forsaken AR game overview documents these cues and the “eyes → shock” mechanic for charges, and explains that interference grows stronger as you aim toward the animatronic, which helps you localize it by sound and distortion rather than sight (see the Game Overview for details) https://forsaken-ar-darkest-delivery.fandom.com/wiki/Game_Overview.

There are two related mechanics to keep in mind. First, a decloak reveals the full model so you can shock it; second, some animatronics perform a “fake charge” that ends before contact while a real charge will show eyes and a full decloak that must be stunned. That distinction matters when you decide whether to hold your ground and shock, or step back and use a decloak/ability first.

Step-by-step: Find and disable an invisible animatronic in Forsaken AR

Follow this checklist every time you get static/footsteps/vibration:

  1. Stop and listen.
  • Quiet the room and use headphones if you can; footsteps and the haywire noise point you to the animatronic’s general direction.
  1. Don’t look straight at the interference.
  • Turn your camera away (face the floor, wall, or slightly off‑angle). Many haywire enemies are defeated precisely because you look away; staring invites an instant kill.
  1. Prepare your Decloaking Charge and shocker.
  1. Watch for eyes or the decloak animation.
  • When the eyes or full animatronic appear, face it and press the shocker (lightning bolt) immediately. Timing matters: shock too early and you may miss the window; shock too late and you’ll be hit.
  1. If it charges, don’t panic.
  • A real charge will show eyes/full decloak; that’s the window to shock. A fake charge often ends just before contact—don’t be baited into mis-timing your shock.
  1. Confirm disable and reset.
  • Once stunned/disabled, back off, check your surroundings for other animatronics, and reload abilities as needed.

This exact “don’t look + decloak + shock” approach is repeatedly recommended in both the Fandom game overview and community walkthroughs because most haywire enemies share that defeat pattern.

Forsaken AR — Foxy and the stuck camera (camera refuses to turn)

Foxy uses a camera‑tracking mechanic, so you must locate him via interference and then use the camera to lock and zap him. The problem you described—camera refusing to turn—is a common interference/glitch situation players report. Two practical fixes the community uses are: first, shake the device to clear interference; second, toggle or use the flashlight to make interference visible so the camera can reorient. Both actions are mentioned in community docs and the Game Overview as ways to clear camera lockups https://forsaken-ar-darkest-delivery.fandom.com/wiki/Game_Overview.

If those don’t work, force a decloak with your Decloaking Charge: the charge can sometimes force Foxy to decloak even when the camera is stubborn, letting you shock him once he appears (this is described in player hints and community notes) https://www.chaptercheats.com/cheat/android/623639/forsaken-ar-darkest-delivery/hint/189971. If the camera still refuses to behave, try a quick app restart; in a few cases players report that restarting the session or reloading the map clears persistent camera locks (see community thread for similar reports) https://www.reddit.com/r/FnafAr/comments/vtbzaw/aaaaaas_ultimate_guide_to_fnaf_ar_and_forsaken_ar/.

A short troubleshooting checklist for Foxy camera lock:

  • Shake the device while holding the camera toward the interference.
  • Toggle the in‑game flashlight to reveal interference.
  • Use Decloaking Charge to force decloak.
  • If stuck after the above, restart the app; check for updates or switch servers (community builds vary).

Common mistakes, glitches and quick fixes

  • Looking at the interference. You might instinctively turn to find the source—don’t. Looking directly during haywire is often what costs the life.
  • Shock timing errors. Wait for eyes/full decloak. If you shock before the model appears you’ll miss the window.
  • Ignoring vibration or sound. The game intentionally gives multi‑sensory cues; if your phone’s haptics are off, you’ll miss a big clue.
  • Camera lock due to interference. Try shaking the device, toggling flashlight, using Decloaking Charge, or restarting the app; the community lists those as the fastest workarounds https://www.reddit.com/r/ForsakenAR/comments/1ecum4y/can_somebody_explain_this_forsaken_ar_glitch_to/.

If you suspect a real bug rather than normal interference, note the exact behavior (what you were doing, which animatronic, whether the camera froze after a decloak, etc.), then check for the latest version on official distribution pages or the GameJolt/Discord communities—sometimes a server or client mismatch causes strange camera behavior.

Advanced survival tips and loadout

  • Conserve Decloaking Charges for haywire encounters; they’re your reliable “reveal” tool. Use them when the static/vibration pattern is strongest.
  • Use headphones and play in a quiet space—the footsteps and haywire noise are subtle but invaluable.
  • Keep your back to a soft boundary (wall or clear open area) so you don’t accidentally turn into multiple threats. Small physical habits like this cut mistakes.
  • Learn charge patterns per animatronic: Bare Endo, Freddy, Foxy and others share the haywire → decloak → shock pattern, but their timings differ; practice and you’ll build rhythm. For a list of animatronics and skins see the Animatronics wiki pages https://forsaken-ar.fandom.com/wiki/Animatronics.
  • If you’re repeatedly hitting camera or input bugs, try different device orientations and check that in‑game permissions (camera, motion) are allowed; community threads often show certain phones behave better with specific settings https://www.reddit.com/r/FnafAr/comments/vtbzaw/aaaaaas_ultimate_guide_to_fnaf_ar_and_forsaken_ar/.

Conclusion

In short: treat static, footsteps and vibration as the primary clues, don’t look directly during haywire, use a Decloaking Charge to force a reveal, then shock the animatronic when its eyes or model appear. For Foxy, shake the device or toggle the flashlight to clear camera interference; if needed force a decloak or restart the app. With those steps you’ll survive more haywire encounters in Forsaken AR and stop getting killed the moment you turn around.
