Does anybody know if passive stat buff augments on weapons are still implemented even if that specific weapon is not being used (but is equipped)

For example, lets say i have a pistol equipped with an augment that adds +5% biotic power damage, but i am in a battle using a shotgun that i also have equipped...would that biotic buff from the pistol augment still boost my biotic damage

So after some extensive testing,

The augments on your melee weapon are always active, and so are the augments from the weapon you are holding in your hand.

The holstered, but equipped weapons DO NOT provide the passive "+5% Biotic Power Damage"

This makes your melee weapon a really great 'buffstick' to all builds, since you can have up to 15% more weapon damage on it. or 25% power damage/rechargespeed.
