Do bonuses on one weapon affect other weapons in Nier Automata?
Matthew Harrington
For instance, when I have a weapon giving me "critical+" in the heavy attack slot; is it applied to my weapon in the light attack slot when I strike only with light attacks ?

Throughout my research, it has noted a few times (here, here) that only non-combat specific weapons effect will apply regardless of which weapon is active. This is limited to two effects:
- Robot Discount
- Discount
Fortunately, these two effects do stack! So you'll get major discounts at some shots.
For combat specific weapon effects, this reddit has researched this a little bit. The users on that community have stated that they did not see a difference in weapon speed when they have two weapons with Attack Speed Up equipped as opposed to only having one weapon equipped.
2The endurance effect of type 3 weapons and the beast weapons also works passively. This is easily seen by equipping them, pausing the game and checking your defense stat increase on the status menu.
