Workbenches can be found in every hideout and Piotrek's House. They are used to craft advanced items and weapons, and repair and upgrade certain melee weapons. In addition, each Workbench contains a 8×6 inventory that is not shared with other Workbenches.
The initial level of the Workbench is level 1. The player can upgrade Workbenches to unlock new crafting recipes and apply more upgrades to some melee weapons. Workbenches can be upgraded to a maximum level of 8. Any upgrade to a Workbench will be carried over to all other Workbenches.
Before Chapter 2, the Workbench can at most be upgraded to level 5. The Workbench found in the Swamp Hideout is already upgraded to level 4, even if the player has not upgraded any other Workbench previously. If the workbench is level 5 in chapter 1, the workbench will also be level 5 in chapter 2.
