LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Guide Game Basics
Rewards
Beyond the sense of satisfaction you get from keeping the galaxy safe from the First Order, there are additional rewards you can earn at the same time.
Studs and the Multiplier
Studs act as money in LEGO games. You need them to purchase the characters, vehicles, and cheats unlocked while playing through the game. Studs are found everywhere. Even when you don’t see any studs, attack any object in the area and it will most likely turn into studs. The color of a stud indicates its base value.
Silver studs increase your stud count by 10
Gold studs increase your stud count by 100
Blue studs increase your stud count by 1,000
Purple studs increase your stud count by 10,000
To increase the total value of the studs you collect, boost your multiplier. The multiplier appears beside your active character’s portrait. Build your multiplier by defeating enemies quickly. The multiplier decreases by one each time the thin line above the combat bar empties.
The multiplier begins with a x2 value and can grow up to x10. The number in the multiplier is how much the value of the studs increases. For example, picking up a blue stud (base value 1,000) with a x5 multiplier results in your stud count going up by 5,000.
Minikits
Minikits are glowing, canister-like objects with blinking lights. Every Story Mode chapter has 10 Minikits, meaning there are 180 for you to find. When you collect all the Minikits on a level, you earn a Gold Brick and unlock a new vehicle.
Red Bricks
Red Bricks unlock cheats that you must then purchase and activate. Visit D’Qar, or use the Character Wheel, to purchase the cheats after collecting the Red Brick associated with it.
