A chainsword and Cultist knife have the following rule "Each time the bearer fights, it can make 1 additional attack with this weapon"

Can you use the bonus attack for having a chainsword or Cultist knife while not actually using it? Example is an Acolyte Hybrid has rending claws and a Cultist knife. Can I use his 2 Attacks with his rending claws and then still get the bonus attack for his cultist knife?

yes - if you fight and you have that weapon you get to make an extra attack with it - it does not matter if you used it or not.

Yes, because it triggers "Each time the bearer fights", not "Each time the bearer fights with this weapon"

When you go to fight, you pick how many of your base attacks to use on which weapon.

So, let's say a Berzerker is now going to swing. You have him equipped with a Chainsword and a Chainaxe.

Base attacks is 2.

You can split them up as either:

2 Axe & 1 Sword (extra) or 1 Axe & 2 Sword (1 normal 1 extra).

Or double up on Chainsword: 4 attacks total no matter how many you assign to each weapon.
