This issue has been happening for years, and is still happening at 2026-07-22 10:16 PM EST.
The issue I am seeing is of the Character unequipping a tool, and the character then being frozen momentarily on the server.
I have deduced through various tests that the issue stems from the Tool being in the player’s backpack, and the engine’s default Tool Handle Logic registering it, as this does not happen if the Tool’s part is named anything other than ‘Handle’. It also ceases to happen if the place’s SignalBehavior is set to Immediate, meaning it is the engine doing something weird when it detects a Motor6D attached to a tool’s Handle that is parented to the player’s Backpack.
VISUAL AID
You are able to see in the above video that the Character freezes. The Transparent Cube indicates the position the character is located at on the server.

Expected behavior
The intended effect I want is for the character to resume physics as normal after unequipping a tool, however, when I unequip the tool, it freezes the character on the server momentarily.
