➤ The Last of Us 2, where to find all the workbenches 🕹

After helping you explore Seattle and suggesting where to find all the collectible cards for The Last of Us 2, the next step towards platinum focuses on the trophy "Prepare for the worst": to get it you just need to find everyone the twenty-five workbenches (you do not need to use them necessarily). While most are hard to miss, there are a few that require more careful exploration and sometimes clearing an area entirely of enemies before you can use them. As always, if you have beaten the game and are moving chapter by chapter, we remind you to keep a manual save of the epilogue, without overwriting it: every time you find the workbenches you need within a section, load the manual save, from there go back to the main menu and continue. Repeat the process each time to keep your progress safe and move from chapter to chapter.
