The Scooper Ending in the Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach Ruin DLC is a hidden, non-canonical conclusion that offers a unique twist on the game’s narrative. Unlike the main endings, it requires players to locate and activate four secret cameras scattered throughout the Pizzaplex. Successfully triggering this ending leads to a direct confrontation with the Mimic in a familiar location, the Scooping Room. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to unlock this intriguing ending.

The Steps to Obtain the Scooper Ending

To achieve the Scooper Ending, you’ll need to perform specific actions during your playthrough of the Ruin DLC:

Locate the Secret Cameras: The primary hurdle is finding the four hidden cameras. These aren’t visible under normal circumstances; they only appear when you interact with specific Camera Stations located throughout the Pizzaplex.
Interact with Camera Stations: Approach the regular Camera Stations and jump on top of them. This unusual action will allow you to zoom out. Once zoomed out, you’ll be able to toggle to the secret camera.
Switch to the Secret Cameras: Zoom out fully after jumping on a camera station. You’ll then need to use the game’s controls to switch to the secret camera feed. Each secret camera is positioned to show you a different specific location, which you will need to memorize for later steps.
The Fourth Camera Location is Unique: Instead of being at a regular camera station, the final secret camera is found by interacting with the Staff Bot that’s right beside the exit door to the maintenance tunnels near the main stage. After interacting with it, it will move its arm and reveal the camera on its back.
Progress Through the Game: Continue playing the Ruin DLC normally. The camera locations are as follows:
- First Camera: Located in the main atrium. Look towards the stage to the left hand side, you will see it behind the large pizza cutout.
- Second Camera: Found in the Daycare. From the normal camera station, toggle to your left.
- Third Camera: Located in Monty Golf. It is located in the middle of the golf course with the camera facing towards the entrance.
- Fourth Camera: The Staff Bot by the entrance to the tunnels next to the stage. After its arm moves and reveals the camera, use that.
Reach the Designated Area: After having activated all four cameras, you will notice a new exit door has opened up in front of the normal escape door when you return to the main atrium from the Daycare. Proceed through that door to enter the Scooping Room
Confront the Mimic: As you enter the Scooping Room, you’ll encounter the Mimic, now wearing a strange amalgamation of different animatronic suits.
Activate the Scooper: The final step involves pressing the button to activate the Scooper. This will initiate a cutscene showing the Mimic being dismantled.

Important Considerations

Timing: While there’s no specific time limit, you should aim to find the hidden cameras and activate them all before reaching the end of the game.
Exploration: Thorough exploration of each area of the Pizzaplex is essential to locate all the camera stations.
Difficulty: Finding the cameras can be challenging, as they are intentionally obscured, requiring the player to think outside the box.
Non-Canon: Keep in mind the Scooper Ending is not part of the main canon narrative, but rather a fun easter egg ending for players to discover.
