Bug #6755

Springtrap's Thrown Axe Fails to Trigger Protection Hit Mechanics

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	Anonymous on September 1, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.1.1
Actual Result:	Protection hit doesn't trigger on hit
Expected Result:	Protection hit triggers on hit
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Two videos are attached, showcasing normal behaviour (M1 hit, protection triggers), and M2 hit (bug, protection doesn't trigger)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Be healthy
2. Get into a chase together with an injured survivor
3. Take a hit from a thrown Springtrap's axe (while both are in chase)
4. Observe related perk effects/score events

Explanation

Springtrap's thrown axe doesn't trigger a protection hit.
Hence, when taking a hit from the axe:
1) Protection hit score event is not triggered
2) Perks which rely on taking protection hits (Like Mettle of Man) don't trigger

M1 triggers protection hit as expected
