If you want to be ready for everything that Naughty Dog, with its PlayStation 4 masterpiece The Last Of Us Part II, has in store for you, it's essential to customize your gear.. To do this, you will need to find work tables. Scraps found all over the world can be readjusted to upgrade your equipment on these workbenches, scattered throughout the game. Plus, once you've found all of them, you'll get two trophies.
Some workbenches are more hidden than others, and unlike many other objects you can interact with in the game world, these stations can appear in more or less dangerous places. So you have to keep your eyes open. But it's definitely worth it, as the work tables allow you to upgrade some of the best weapons in the game.
In this guide, in order to avoid spoilers if you are at the first run, the positions of the workbenches are in chronological order. We therefore recommend that you consult the guide several times during the game.
