Yesterday I bought the Drakgoon and went to a survival mission to start leveling it... It lasted 40 minutes, and I thought I would get a lot of XP for my new primary, but it only gained 300 affinity... the thing is I never used it, at first I was killing with my pistols and then went full melee.

So, I guess holstered weapons doesn't gain any XP? the same would apply for syndicate effects, for example if I have my rakta ballistica holstered it won't fill its xp gauge and do the explosion, but if I equip it, even if I'm killing things with melee blows (but with the weapon equiped) it gains the affinity...
