Yes. You need to figure out an item's properties to learn what it does. However, if you use the weapon in combat before learning what it does, your DM might describe that the weapon seems to guide itself toward your foe's weak spots, giving you a bit of a clue as to what it does.

Hi there, Midgardians!
So imagine I get a magic weapon that it is a +2. Do I need to use Identify/spend a rest in order to know that that weapon has a +2?
Thanks in advance.
