Stud multipliers play a critical role in efficient stud farming in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and players that want to earn the currency quickly should prioritize unlocking them. Indeed, these multipliers increase the rate of stud acquisition exponentially, allowing fans to purchase the game's most-expensive unlockables. For those players that may be unclear about how to unlock stud multipliers in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, this guide is here to shine some light on the matter.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - How to Unlock Stud Multipliers

To put things simply, stud multipliers are unlocked through LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's Holoprojector, which is opened by pressing the touchpad on a PlayStation controller, the view button on an Xbox controller, or Tab on a keyboard. After opening the Holoprojector, players should navigate to the "Extras" tab on the right. The five stud multipliers can be found in the Datacards section of that tab, and fans can unlock them directly from there if they have the requisite resources.

With respect to the specifics of those required resources, each stud multiplier is obtained by spending a certain amount of studs and a Datacard. While LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga players can see the number of studs that are needed to purchase each multiplier in-game, here is a list of those amount for the sake of completeness:

Multiplier

Amount

Studs x2

1,000,000 Studs, 1 Datacard

Studs x4

2,000,000 Studs, 1 Datacard

Studs x6

8,000,000 Studs, 1 Datacard

Studs x8

48,000,000 Studs, 1 Datacard

Studs x10

384,000,000 Studs, 1 Datacard

As players that peruse this list will see, stud multipliers are quite expensive, and fans may need to spend some time stud farming in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga before they are able to afford them. In general, the best way to farm for this currency is to repeatedly complete quick missions that yield a lot of studs, and "Now This is Podracing" in Episode 1 and "Stay on Target" in Episode 4 are both good options. Regardless of the specific mission that a player ultimately chooses to use for stud farming, they should make sure to pick up multipliers along the way to speed up their efforts.

And with regard to the Datacards that are needed for unlocking stud multipliers, those are found in the free roam areas of a variety of planets. Those planets include Tatooine, Coruscant, and Hoth, and there are a total of 19 Datacards in the game. Notably, Datacards will be displayed on the map after the third level of the Collectible Detector Core Upgrade has been purchased, and fans that are struggling to find them may want to put some studs and Kyber Bricks in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga toward that skill.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
