Question about Tech and Smart weapons?

[Night FM]

If I'm proficient in a stat which applies to certain weapons (e.x. the Cool stat for Sniper Rifles), does the stat affect Tech or Smart weapons (e.x. a Tech Sniper Rifle), or are Tech and Smart weapons only affected by the stat which applies to them (e.x. the Tech stat for all Tech weapons).

I'm proficient in the Cool stat, and I tried using a Tech Sniper Rifle, and the damage was almost the same as with a Power Sniper Rifle, so I think that it does.

Yes it does.

If an ability specifies a type of weapon Technologies such as Power, Smart or Tech then it only works with weapons that are Power, Smart or Tech (respectively).

But if an ability specifies it only works with a weapon type like pistol, SMG, shotgun, etc, then it will work with all types of weapons that are Power, Smart or Tech so long as they are also that sort of gun.

So yes, the abilities from the Cool Stat that work on Sniper Rifles work on all guns that are Sniper Rifles.

The same is true of weapon attachments. But at least in their case it's easier as typically you just can't attach them to the wrong weapons.

If the perk mentions sniper rifles/precision rifles/revolvers/pistols (as those are tied together in that stat line) it will effect every type of sniper rifle/precision rifle/revolver/pistol, doesnt matter if it is smart/tech/power. If the perk mentions tech or smart weapons, which are tied to Technical Ability and Intelligence respectively, it will effect every tech or smart weapon regardless of weapon type.

The base bonus of stats are weapon agnostic, Cool will add critical damage to all damage sources, Reflexes will add critical chance to all weapons.
