Unlock Every Workbench in Sniper Elite 5: Locations Revealed!

by

Winter Warrior and Sniper Elite: Resistance are more like spin-offs than direct sequels, with the latter particularly resembling Sniper Elite 5. Although not the first outstanding game in the series, Sniper Elite 5 made significant strides forward, enhancing key aspects that led to a more enjoyable gaming experience overall.

As a gamer, I can’t deny that the slow-motion bullet cam is what initially drew me into Sniper Elite 5. But let’s not overlook the importance of Workbenches – they’re more than just collectibles; they’re vital tools that allow us to enhance our arsenal. The hunt for these 24 Workbenches scattered throughout the game isn’t just a side quest, it’s a necessity if we want to maximize our gaming experience. Finding them all is a challenge, but one that every sniper worth their salt will relish.

Mission 1 – The Atlantic Wall

There are 3 Workbenches in Mission 1: The Atlantic Wall.

In the opening section of Chapter 1, you’ll discover the first Workbench. Once you manage to enter the room, defeat the adversary unit, and the Workbench will be located on one side of the room, specifically behind the guard.

The Atlantic Wall Workbench 2/3

Near the objective to destroy the Gun Battery, you’ll find the second workbench. After completing the gun battery task, move northwest and look for a small building. Upon entering this structure, you’ll spot the Pistol Workbench – an ideal location to upgrade some of the game’s powerful pistols.

In Sniper Elite 5, players can locate the second workbench by moving westward from the main house, towards some wheat fields.

Deep within this room, under a French Resistance flag, you’ll discover an SMG Workbench.

Spy Academy Workbench 2/3

To reach the 2nd Workbench located on the Academy premises, players must first secure an Armory Key. From the Academy’s southern side, climb the stairs and make a right turn into a room guarded by some personnel. After finding and picking up the Armory Key from one of the guards, exit the room but instead of going down the same set of stairs, locate the nearby set of stairs and ascend them. At the top of these stairs, players will encounter the Armory (marked with a blue door) which houses a Pistol Workbench.

Spy Academy Workbench 3/3

In Mission 3’s finale, you’ll discover the last Workbench tucked away on the outskirts of the Academy, specifically northwest of the main structure.

As a dedicated gamer, I stumbled upon the First Workbench in Mission 4, nestled within the Smelting Vat structure.

Players should pass through the gap and follow the scaffolding until they come across another hole where they’ll uncover the Pistol Workbench.

Liberation Workbench 2/3

Inside a spacious home, nestled between town limits and barns, you’ll find the second workbench. To access it, players should carefully navigate their way inside (avoiding the mistake of forcing entry which might alarm adversaries). Once inside, they will need to clear some accumulated rubble concealing a hole in the floor. Descending into this hidden chamber uncovers a Resistance SMG Workbench.

Or more concisely:

The second workbench is found within a large house positioned between town and barns. Players should enter stealthily (avoiding breaking in, as it might alert enemies) to discover debris concealing a hole in the floor. Clearing away this obstruction reveals a Resistance SMG Workbench beneath.

Right beside the cascading waterfall, they will stumble upon a cave, and within that cave lies the Workbench.

Secret Weapons Workbench 2/3

After successfully breaching the massive dome on the map’s northern edge, players will find the second workbench located within. Inside this dome, players are advised to navigate downwards where they will encounter several guards and an Armory.

With the key in hand, players can then unlock and access the Armory which contains an SMG Workbench positioned inside.

Rubble and Ruin Workbench 2/3
