The Stud Multiplier in Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight increases the amount of studs that you pick up, but unlike in previous Lego games where you needed cheats to boost you all the way up to x10 modifier, now you need to unlock certain character skills and upgrades instead, as I'll lay out in my guide below. Here's how to boost your stud multiplier in Lego Batman Legacy and make Bruce Wayne into a billionaire... again.

When you collect studs in Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight, they increase your Stud Multiplier (as shown in the top right). Collect enough of them in one go, and they'll increase it to x2, doubling all the studs you pick up! If you stop collecting them, the multiplier drops back down and resets.

You can increase the stud multiplier to a maximum of x4, by getting certain Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight skills. The Exploration skill tree has two skills called "Hyper Combo", each of which increases the maximum stud multiplier by 1 (one at tier 1 skills, one at tier 4).

Sadly, unlike in previous Lego games, there are no Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight cheats that will allow you to increase your stud multiplier. The same goes for Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight Red Bricks, which only add visual cosmetic modifiers, not gameplay ones.
