The Gear Bench is probably the most important station for staying alive. this is where u craft your Shields (Armor Plates). at level 1 u can only make Light Shields which break pretty fast. u want to upgrade this bench to level 2 asap so u can craft the Heavy Shield. it takes way more damage and will save your life against the big ARC machines.
the other huge thing here is the Backpack upgrades or Augments. u can craft Looting, Combat and Tactical augments that give u passive buffs. if u want to carry more loot out of the raid u need the Looting augment. for the level 3 upgrade u need Bastion Cells which drops from the big tank enemy so bring a squad for that. see the full list of armor and augments below.
