Re: Mission 6 Workbench Sniper Elite 5
Phillipp Schneeberger
Unlocking new weapons in Sniper Elite 5 generally consists of just playing the game. They're usually acquired by completing missions or murdering various, very specific, Nazis across your journey. Augmenting those weapons, however, is a slightly more involved process.
In Sniper Elite 5 you have to find various workbenches hidden in each level, and each one will unlock new attachments for that class of weapon. Walking up and interacting with these workbenches is enough to unlock your new toys, and it also gives you the opportunity to change your loadout on the spot. Let's go over the locations of every rifle workbench in the game.
In each level, there are three workbenches to be found. Each one corresponds to a different class of weapons (one for rifles, one for SMGs, and one for pistols). These workbenches double up as a kind of collectible, a lot of which are hidden away in some dark corner of the war-torn landscape. Finding these can be well worth the effort; each workbench unlocks attachments for different styles of play, some give you suppressors for a stealthy approach, and some enabled you to increase the rate of fire. Each has its own pro and con, it's just up to you to decide how you want to take down the Third Reich.
The first rifle workbench can be found just after you meet up with Blue Viper. Just head up the stairs, dispatch the Nazi and unlock the door. Inside you'll find the workbench and all the ammo you could possibly use.
This workbench is inside the Chateau. You can either access it from the moat outside, or by heading through the front gate and down to the cellar. The courtyard of the Chateau can get pretty hectic, so if you're playing on a higher difficulty it can be well worth it to sneak in from the outside, so as not to gain too much attention.
This workbench is a little more difficult to access than the ones previous. First, you need to acquire the Cellar Key, hidden in a building on the north-western corner of the island. Once you have this, you'll want to approach the building depicted on the map from the northern side. If you're coming up from the beach, there are some vines you can climb. Once up, you should be able to unlock the door and use the rifle workbench.
Pretty much dead-center of the map, you'll find a warehouse with a Resistance logo painted on the inside. Go through the next room, and you'll find a ladder that takes you down to the cellar where you'll find the rifle workbench. The door next to the painted Resistance logo is padlocked from the outside, so if you choose to, you can use armor-piercing rounds or explosives as per the tooltip.
The rifle workbench for this mission is hidden inside a church at the center of the map. To access it, however, you're going to have to approach from a different angle; there are some vines running along the outside wall of said church. Simply climb those vines and you'll have plenty of special items, and a rifle workbench, to boot.
In the Northern part of the map, just before the heavily guarded bridge, you'll find a house with a Resistance logo. Inside you'll find the safe house. You'll need to climb up the side of the building to access the workbench. Don't forget to blow the bridge after you're done and welcome in your heavily-armored friend.
The western side of the map has a long building, patrolled by a gunship. Just beyond this building is an Armory. There is a Nazi Officer near the building who has the key, or you can blow the door with a satchel charge if you choose. The rifle workbench and a bunch of special items are your rewards for spoiling the Nazi rocket party.
Once you get through the destroyed town, you'll be prompted to enter the sewers. These sewers begin with some winding, claustrophobic tunnels, but they eventually lead to a large room. One of the two soldiers in the center of the room has the key to the armory, located just opposite where they were originally standing. The workbench is inside.
That's all of the rifle workbenches in the Sniper Elite 5 base game. Not only do these give you a gameplay advantage, but a lot of the time they lead you to an under-utilized part of the game map, giving you an excellent vantage point, or just a boatload of ammo and special items.
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.
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.

Mission 6 (Liberation) from Sniper Elite 5 allows you to obtain 19 secrets. Our guide will tell you where to look for documents, artifacts, eagles, letters, and workshops, so you can complete stage 6 at 100%.
Note - some secrets in this mission are easily missable, as they're being held by specific enemies. Try to search every enemy corpse, as they can vanish after a while, taking the secret with them. If they do, you'll have to load a previous save or restart the mission.
This secret is easily missable, as it's being held by one of the enemy soldiers. Use your binoculars to examine the soldiers guarding a small southern farm you'll reach soon after starting the mission. Eliminate the correct soldier and search his corpse.
This secret is easily missable, as it's being held by one of the soldiers guarding Jaan Trautmann's mansion, this mission's Kill List target. You'll find him in the western part of the map. Eliminate the enemies in front of the building and search their bodies.
Reach the farm located south of the western town (the one with snipers). Climb up to the main building's attic. It's a sniper nest - part of the roof's damaged and the collectible is on the floor.
This secret is easily missable, as it's being held by an enemy. The soldier in question is searching the plane crash site in the centre of the map, near the AA guns. Kill him and examine the corpse.
In order to find this collectible (as well as the workbench) you must reach the basement of a building east of the sniper town. The basement entrance is blocked off by planks you must rip off or destroy with a crowbar. You'll find the collectible on the table.
The eagle is in a window of a destroyed building in the northern part of the map. You face the Tiger tank here, but you can also hit the eagle from the northern town if you get a good vantage point.
In order to find this workbench (as well as the secret #12) you must reach the basement of a building east of the sniper town. The basement entrance is blocked off by planks you must rip off or destroy with a crowbar. You'll find the collectible on the table.
The workbench is in the southern town. It's hidden in a seemingly inaccessible room in the main building. Head to the building's upper floor, walk over the planks and go through a hole in the roof shown in picture 1. After doing so, approach the workshop.
