The moment the player sees him, the player must bring up the Monitor before Golden Freddy kills the night guard. Unlike the other animatronics, the screen will be covered by a static image of Golden Freddy's face upon attack, akin to the images that flash during Mike Schmidt's hallucinations. He completely disregards the doors, appearing whether they are open or closed. Unlike all of the other animatronics in the game, Golden Freddy does not give any indication of approach or arrival within the Office. This does happen in the mobile version but the chances of it occurring are much lower than the PC version. Golden Freddy will wait idly for few seconds before killing the night guard, forcibly closing the game. His appearance causes different images to flash on the screen for split seconds, along with the words ' IT'S ME'. If the player sees the Golden Freddy poster and then switches back to the Office, Golden Freddy will be waiting for them. While this picture of him is being viewed, a young girl's laugh can be heard.

It can switch between three different versions: a normal picture of Freddy, a distorted version (in which he appears to rip off his own head), or a close-up of Golden Freddy's face. When checking CAM 2B, the player will see a poster on the wall.

The alternate poster in the West Hall Corner, with a close-up of Golden Freddy's face. He is also presented in a sitting, slouched position as if he were deceased. His jaw hangs open and his head is tilted to the right. If one looks at the arms, a few wires and parts of the endoskeleton are visible, which share the same coloration as his accessories, though this may just be cords holding together the separate pieces of his suit. It is also possible that there is an endoskeleton in the suit. Upon closer inspection, a microphone can be seen lying on his right palm, as well as two pinprick white dot-like pupils within his otherwise empty eye sockets. His hat and bow tie appear to be tinted dark blue, as opposed to Freddy's black ones though this may be the result of lighting. Golden Freddy appears to be a yellow colored variation of Freddy Fazbear with missing eyes.
