The Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga studs x10 multiplier is key to racking up huge amounts of the in-game currency as fast as possible, so you can get unlocking the many upgrades and characters available. The process for unlocking this multiplier extra has been made more difficult in Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga, as unlike in previous Lego games there is no cheat code to get it this time around, so you'll have to put in the work to earn it instead.

Finding yourself one of the necessary Datacards isn't too difficult, but you'll also need to have enough Studs saved to purchase it legitimately. Don't get overwhelmed by the huge price tags attached, as although the x10 multiplier has a hefty Stud cost that can seem daunting at first, getting some other extras and upgrades will speed things up. Here's how to get the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga Studs x10 Multiplier and some tips for speeding up the process.

If you want to get the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga studs x10 multiplier, you're going to have to put in a lot of work to get it. At present there are no known cheats to give instant access to this boost, so you'll need one of the Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga Datacards and a whopping 384 million studs to unlock it legitimately! On the face of it that's an absurd total to achieve, but it's actually not as bad as it looks thanks to the way these extras work.

There are five multipliers in total, going from studs x2 all the way up to the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga studs x10 multiplier, which have the following costs when purchased from the Extras menu in the Holoprojector:

  • Studs x2 = 1,000,000 studs
  • Studs x4 = 2,000,000 studs
  • Studs x6 = 8,000,000 studs
  • Studs x8 = 48,000,000 studs
  • Studs x10 = 384,000,000 studs

However, these multipliers combine when more than one is activated at the same time, to provide a boost much greater than the individual parts. This means that if you purchase them in ascending order and keep them all active, the effective studs multiplier you're actually achieving increases exponentially:

  • Studs x2 = x2 multiplier
  • Studs x2 + x4 = x8 multiplier
  • Studs x2 + x4 + x6 = x48 multiplier
  • Studs x2 + x4 + x6 + x8 = x384 multiplier
  • Studs x2 + x4 + x6 + x8 + x10 = x3840 multiplier

Therefore, thanks to these increasing combinations, the actual 'cost' of each multiplier level is technically the same 1,000,000 worth of studs, as long as you purchase and activate each multiplier as soon as possible. Focus all of your stud collecting on unlocking those extras in order, as this is the quickest route to earning the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga studs x10 multiplier. Once you reach that level and are earning 3,840 times the number of studs collected, unlocking everything else should become a doddle in comparison.
