Spy Academy is the third mission in Sniper Elite 5‘s campaign. You’ll start out on a beachhead with only a handful of guards, and your main goal is to reach the gargantuan fortress in the middle of an island. Still, you might want to tag a few workbenches to unlock weapon upgrades and attachments. Here’s our Sniper Elite 5 Spy Academy Workbench locations guide to help you with the ones that you can find in Mission 3.

Sniper Elite 5 – Spy Academy Workbench locations guide (Mission 3)
The Sniper Elite 5 Spy Academy Workbench locations can be seen in the map image below. All of these can be found as you explore the main island’s winding streets and imposing fortress. Ideally, you’ll want to tag them in the following order: SMG -> Pistol -> Rifle. That’s because of how you’ll progress in this mission as you go from the southern beachhead to the main objective in the castle.
SMG Workbench
Once you’ve reached the town, follow the main street as it loops to the east. You’ll reach a spot where there’s a red car in the middle of the road. Climb up the ledges and pick the lock on the door. Follow the narrow hallway until you reach the small room with the SMG Workbench (as seen in this guide’s featured image).
Pistol Workbench
Continue working your way through the level until you’re almost at the castle’s entrance. To the left of the steps, there’s a street that cuts through the side of the fortress.
Just a short distance away, you’ll see the armory. You do need a key for this one or a Satchel Charge.
Don’t worry about wasting the Satchel Charge if you blow up the door. You’ll find another one in this room with the Pistol Workbench and a Panzerfaust.
Rifle Workbench
For the third and final Spy Academy Workbench in Sniper Elite 5, you’ll have to go on a bit of a trek. You can either follow the side street from the armory or head to the training center (which also has a sidequest that you can undertake).
Your goal is to continue along the western path until you end up at the garden and cliffside path overlooking the beach and islands to the north.
Once there, look back at the fortress walls to discover several vines. You can climb on these until you’re at the rampart, which has the Rifle Workbench.
Interact with it to complete the tally for all Sniper Elite 5 Spy Academy Workbench locations. Lastly, you can pick the lock on the blue door to open it. It will lead you back to the side of the training center.
Sniper Elite 5 is available via Steam. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.
