Workbenches are a type of collectible that you can find throughout the missions of Sniper Elite 5. Not only do they unlock new attachments for your weapons but also give you the chance to edit and customize your guns during the mission rather than at the mission select screen. An extremely useful tool as you make your way through the game, they are also tied to the Tinkerer Achievement, which you will unlock when you discover all of the Workbenches. This guide will show you all Workbench locations and how to unlock the Tinkerer Achievement in Sniper Elite 5.

All Workbench Locations In Sniper Elite 5

Each level in Sniper Elite 5 contains 3 workbenches, one for your Rifle, pistol, and SMG respectively. This brings the total number of workbenches in the base campaign to 24, with the total in the game coming out to 27 with the inclusion of the Wolf Mountain DLC mission. Each section of this guide will include a map marking each location of the workbenches followed by a breakdown of where to find each one.

Chapter 1: The Atlantic Wall

Rifle Workbench – The first workbench in the game is found right after meeting up with your contact Charlie, aka Blue Viper. After the cutscene with her, go up the staircase and kill the enemy within the room. This is the level’s second Starting Location and is the end of the game’s tutorial so it is impossible to miss.

SMG Workbench – There is a base found to the northwest of the level which is where you will find the large Gun Battery that you watch destroy the submarine that you arrived to the level on in a cutscene early on. This base has many buildings, with one of them being an armory. You can gain access to this area by using either a satchel or the armory key. Inside is where you will find this workbench.

Pistol Workbench – The last workbench is in the attic where you find Marcel’s body that is used to get the intel tied to the primary objective found to the southwest. Climb up a set of vines on the front of the building to reach the attic and use the Workbench.

Chapter 2: Occupied Residence

Rifle Workbench – This Workbench is found in the cellar that is underneath the Chateau along with a stockpile of other weapons.

SMG Workbench – The SMG Workbench is found on the second floor of the farmhouse that is found to the west of the Chateau. You can use a series of vines on the north side of the building to reach the Workbench.

Pistol Workbench – All the way on the other side of the map from the previous workbench, you will find this Workbench behind a locked door in a building found to the east of the map near the “Chateau Stables” Starting Location.

SMG Workbench – The SMG Workbench is to the right of the first bridge that you cross to reach the island. When you cross the bridge and reach the first intersection, instead of going to the left towards the parked cars, go to the right until you find the wall pictured below on the left. Climb up the wall and follow the path this is up there to find the Workbench as well as a lot of useful equipment.
