Use the mission-by-mission locations below to find them, including benches behind locked doors and on upper floors. A separate guide also lists three workbenches for Vercors Vendetta; its relationship to the 22-bench campaign count is unclear, so that mission is kept separate here.
What workbenches do and how to track them
Workbenches are collectible weapon-upgrade stations. Visiting one unlocks attachments for the corresponding weapon class—rifle, secondary weapon (SMG), or pistol—and lets you edit your loadout during the mission. The listed reward names below are from Prima Games’ 2025 guide.
Check the pause-screen Service Record to see which workbenches you have found. Push Square reports that they do not appear as map markers, so do not rely on the map to reveal their locations. In the routes below, look beyond ground-floor rooms: several benches are in upper floors, basements, tunnels, sheds, or locked side rooms.
Mission-by-mission workbench locations
The 22-location route and unlock names below follow Prima Games’ written guide. Directions are landmark-based rather than exact coordinates; use the named structures and access clues to narrow your search.

Are there workbenches in Vercors Vendetta?
Push Square lists three locations under Vercors Vendetta: Resistance Hideout, Waterfall Lookout, and Gaswaffen Command. Prima Games’ 22-bench route covers eight missions and says the final mission, All or Nothing, has no workbench. The sources do not establish whether the separate Vercors Vendetta listing is included in a particular campaign scope or game version. Treat it as an additional listing, not as part of the verified 22-location route.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.How to avoid missing a bench
- Use the Service Record between searches to check your progress; workbenches are not reported as map markers.
- When a route points to a building, inspect upper floors, connected rooms, basements, tunnels, and outbuildings rather than only the main ground floor.
- Bring the access method named for that location: lockpicks, bolt cutters, a key, or a satchel charge. A locked door is not by itself evidence that a workbench is behind it.
Prima Games describes the 22-workbench campaign route; Push Square independently states the same count but also lists the three Vercors Vendetta locations. The route above keeps those claims distinct rather than combining them into an unsupported total.
