How to Find Weapon Workbenches in Sniper Elite: Resistance

Players can find Weapon Workbenches throughout the levels of the Sniper Elite: Resistance campaign. Most are behind locked doors, underground, or within houses in plain sight. These workbenches allow players to edit their loadout mid-mission. Visiting the workbenches for the first time will also reward players with gun upgrades for a specific class of weapon.

There are 22 Weapon Workbenches in the Sniper Elite: Resistance campaign. The first mission only contains one workbench, while the next seven missions contain three workbenches each. The final mission, All Or Nothing, does not have a workbench or any Propaganda Posters in the level. Here is the location for every Weapon Workbench by mission:

Mission 1: Behind Enemy Lines – Weapon Workbench Locations

The reward for finding the Pistol Workbench is an Attachment Bundle.
