In Sniper Elite Resistance, survival depends on the arsenal. Throughout the eight missions, 22 hidden Workbenches are scattered throughout, each unlocking new attachments for your rifles, secondary weapons, and pistols. While the game tracks your discoveries in the Service Record, it’s up to you to explore and locate these valuable upgrade stations. This guide breaks down every workbench location to provide more information on how to find each one and enhance your combat effectiveness.
All Workbenches Location
In Sniper Elite, you can upgrade your weapons by finding and using 22 different Workbenches scattered throughout the eight missions. Each Workbench you find unlocks new attachments for your Rifle, Secondary Weapon, and Pistol. While the game keeps track of which Workbenches you’ve discovered in the Service Record menu, it doesn’t show their locations on your map, so you’ll have to explore to find them all.
1. Workbench: Pistol Workbench
The first mission in Sniper Elite: Resistance, “Behind Enemy Lines,” has just one collectible: a Workbench. Early in the mission, you’ll need to shoot the dam in two spots to build up pressure. After doing that, climb the wall and enter the house directly ahead, the one with the enemy on the balcony. Grab the crowbar, use it to remove the wooden boards on the left wall inside the house, and go through the opening. The Workbench is there.
2. Workbench: Rifle Workbench
The Workbench is located in a building in the far southwest corner of the map, behind the church. You can climb to the second floor from the outside. Once inside, use the Bolt Cutters to open the gate. The Workbench is just beyond it.
3. Workbench: Pistol Workbench
You can find a shop near the northeastern wall of the fortress. Go inside, then exit out the right side. You’ll see some stairs leading down into an underground tunnel. At the bottom, there’s a locked gate. Pick the lock to open it, and the Workbench is just inside.
4. Workbench: SMG Workbench
When you’re searching Vertigo’s office area, look for a gate you can open with the Bolt Cutters. This will lead you into a workshop where you’ll find the SMG Workbench in the corner.
5. Workbench: Pistol Workbench
Head to the trainyard on the east side of the map and enter the covered area. On the left, there’s a building with a gate you can open using the Bolt Cutters. Go upstairs inside, and you’ll find the Workbench.
6. Workbench: Rifle Workbench
Across the river from where you start the mission, there’s an area with a Kill List objective. Look for a building in that area—the Workbench is located on one of its side walls.
7. Workbench: SMG Workbench
In the Old Town, south of the first optional objective (the one on the south side of the river), there’s a courtyard with a fountain. Next to the fountain, you’ll find a locked gate that you can pick. The Workbench is on the other side.
8. Workbench: SMG Workbench
At the train station on the left side of the map, where you have the main objective to destroy some salvaged tech, look for a gate next to the tech on the left side of the circled area. Open the gate, go down the ladder, and you’ll find the Workbench in the bunker below.
9. Workbench: Pistol Workbench
In the southern part of the map, there’s a farm area. Find the house there and climb the vines on the outside to get in. The Workbench is inside.
10. Workbench: Rifle Workbench
Near the bridge at the top of the map, there’s a building with an optional objective inside. On the ground floor of that building, there’s a room you can break into. Smash your way in, and you’ll find the Workbench at the back.
11. Workbench: Rifle Workbench
A church is located in the southwest part of the map. Go inside, find the staircase, and pick the lock underneath it. The Workbench is in the basement.
12. Workbench: Pistol Workbench
To find this Workbench, enter the factory area from the bridge on the north edge of the map. Follow the train tracks into the factory, where you’ll see a parked train. Go into the factory building on your left. On the second floor, you’ll find a locked door on your right. You can either use the key to open it or blow it open with a Satchel Charge. The Workbench is inside.
13. Workbench: SMG Workbench
On the southernmost road of the map, there’s a tunnel. Go inside, and you’ll find a room on the left side of the road containing the Workbench.
14. Workbench: Rifle Workbench
To find this Workbench, head to the underground bunker at the top of the map. Once inside, make your way to the area at the top of the main hanger that has a blueish tint. Enter the central room there. Instead of going down the ladder, look for a doorway opposite it that leads to another corridor exiting the main hanger. Follow this corridor (you’ll pass a zipline on your left). When the walls turn white, go left. At the end of this corridor, there’s a door on the left that you can open with either the key or a Satchel Charge. The Workbench is inside.
15. Workbench: SMG Workbench
In the eastern part of the ruined old town, look for a staircase leading down underground. You’ll need to clear some wooden boards blocking the tunnel entrance. Once you’re through, follow the narrow corridor downwards, and you’ll find the Workbench.
16. Workbench: Pistol Workbench
North of the red Kill List area, you’ll find an abbey (it’s also an optional objective). In the northeast corner of the abbey grounds, there’s a shed with a lock you can pick. The Workbench is inside.
17. Workbench: Rifle Workbench
In the southwest corner of the map, there’s a building next to the river. Climb the vines to the second floor, and you’ll find the Workbench in the room up there.
18. Workbench: SMG Workbench
Southeast of the main Nazi building in the center of the map, you’ll find two buildings you can enter. Go into the barn and head up to the second floor. The Workbench is there.
19. Workbench: Pistol Workbench
In the northwest corner of the map, there’s a building with black tracks on either side (if you’re looking at your map). Go to the entrance of this building and find the green ladder that goes up to the second floor. Go up the ladder, enter the door on the left, and the Workbench is in that room.
20. Workbench: Pistol Workbench
In the trenches on the southeast side of the map, look for a house to the right of the second AA gun you can destroy. You can’t enter from the ground floor; you have to climb the vines on the side of the house and enter on the second floor. The Workbench is on the bottom floor inside.
21. Workbench: Rifle Workbench
In the center of the map, there’s a factory marked as a main objective. Go inside and take the stairs in the middle up. Then, head to the northeast corner (as you look at your map). There’s a room there that you can enter either with the key or by using a Satchel Charge to blow it open. The Workbench is inside.
22. Workbench: SMG Workbench
A warehouse is located in the northwest corner of the map. Go inside and up to the second floor. The Workbench is on the back wall.
