Ergonomics reflects a weapon’s responsiveness and handling. A high Ergonomics percentage makes a weapon feel lighter and snappier, making it easier to aim and track moving enemies, such as Predator Strain Terminids.

On the other hand, if a weapon has a lower Ergonomics score, it will feel more sluggish. The slow-moving reticle can make tracking fast-moving targets difficult. Maintaining a high Ergonomics stat is recommended, especially during close-range encounters.

An alternative way to increase the Ergonomics stat in Helldivers 2 is by tweaking weapon attachments. Players can fine-tune their attachments using the weapon customization system. They should ideally choose attachments with high Ergonomics. Generally, lighter attachments offer better Ergonomics compared to heavier ones.

Players can also remove default sights, such as flashlight and laser combos, to slightly enhance the Ergonomics stat in Helldivers 2. However, attachment choices should be made carefully, as this method is only viable for close-range weapons like ARs and SMGs. Long-range weapons, such as DMRs and snipers, are best paired with the Peak Physique armor perk.
