[SR6] Exotic Melee Weapons use the Close Combat or the Exotic Weapon?

Exotic Melee Weapons use the Close Combat skill or the Exotic Weapon skill to attack?
(I think they should use the Close Combat skill with the requirement of a specific Exotic Melee Weapon specialization)

Exotic Weapons use the Exotic Weapons skill.

A monowhip would use Agility plus Exotic Weapons (Monowhip).  Exotic weapons skill are an exception and require the specialization.

Without gaining the 2 dice bonus from the specialization.

The Weapons Specialist archetype (CRB 90) has Exotic Weapons 5 (Launchers +2).
So this is an error (no +2 dice)

Archetypes are made before final rules so often don't fully match.
