While conducting “Mission 3: Spy Academy” in Sniper Elite 5, players will be able to find a total of three Workbenches hidden across the map. Similar to Classified Documents or Stone Eagles, these Workbenches serve as collectibles that the protagonist can find while exploring France. While they aren’t necessary for level progression, these Workbenches allow players to access their loadout menu during the mission, granting them a precious opportunity to modify their gear before moving onward. Moreover, discovering these interactive collectibles will provide players with more customization options for their weaponry, allowing them to further enhance their gameplay experience in Sniper Elite 5.

The three Workbenches in “Mission 3: Spy Academy“ of Sniper Elite 5 include SMG, Pistol, and Rifle. The first two can be found in the inner-city area of the map. On the other hand, the third is located in the northern section of the zone near the extraction point.

Starting from the southwestern portion of the map, Sniper Elite 5 players can find the pathway leading to the first Workbench in “Spy Academy” near a small red car north of a hotel. After reaching the vehicle, climb onto the two ledges on the left and enter the doorway. Follow the tunnel to a small hidden armory with the words “Vive la France” written on the wall. Turn right to discover the Workbench – SMG.

Next, head to the eastern entrance of the fortress near the center of the map. An officer named Josef Lowenstam should be patrolling the entryway. Kill him and loot his Armory Key from his corpse. With the key in hand, go to the Axis Armory slightly southwest of the current location. Players can recognize the armory door they need to unlock by looking for a “WAFFENKAMMER” sign above it. Enter into the structure and search the second chamber to find the Workbench – Pistol on the right.

The third and final Workbench in Sniper Elite 5‘s “Spy Academy” is located in the far northern portion of the map, accessible by climbing the vines within an exterior courtyard. After ascending three sets of vines, go up the short stairwell on the left to discover the Workbench – Rifle in Sniper Elite 5.

Sniper Elite 5 is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC.
