Workbenches are what you need to upgrade your gear in The Last of Us Part 1. They’re a brief respite in a terrifying world filled with killers and creatures that want to rip you apart. The only way to even the odds is with workbenches — and while these aren’t exactly collectibles, they will earn you a trophy for finding them all. Get all the workbenches to unlock the “Prepare For The Worst” trophy. Put on your working gloves and let’s dig in.
There are actually far fewer workbenches than you might imagine in The Last of Us Part 1. They seem like an essential tool, but there are only 11 in the entire game. Before starting this guide, I assumed we’d see the workbench as often as the merchant from Resident Evil 4. Not quite as many appearances here or in the sequel, where workbenches are littered across the 20+ hour story like candy.

Workbenches are tables where you can upgrade your weapons. Weapons can only be upgraded to a certain level before you need to acquire more tools. Tools are rare collectibles you’ll find as you progress further in the game. For all tool locations, check the guides in the links above.
That’s all the workbenches. Find them all to unlock “Prepare For The Worst” trophy. And don’t forget to look for toolboxes! They’re often located right next to the workbenches. Only a few are hidden away. You’re meant to find most of them.
