Satchel charges can be found throughout the missions in the campaign mode. They are placed in different locations. One such place is in the first mission, Atlantic Wall.

We will use this to explain how to locate them. To find the satchel charges, you first have to travel to the northeast radar tower.

In Atlantic Wall, there is a mission that requires you to blow up the tower using the satchel charges. Just next to the radar tower, there are some trenches. You can use your focus on these trenches to find a modest amount of satchel charges lying around.

The satchel charges will have an orange glow to them when seen using the focus. Also, do remember that German soldiers will be roaming the area. For the location of the workbenches in the mission, read Sniper Elite 5 Mission 1 Workbench guide.
