Everyone looking for a "cheat code" to instantly trigger the x10 stud multiplier in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga usually hits a wall. Here is the reality: unlike unlocking characters or ships, there is no 7-digit alphanumeric code that you can simply type into the pause menu to get the x10 multiplier. In this game, stud multipliers are classified as "Extras" that require Datacards and massive amounts of in-game currency.

However, there are dozens of legitimate cheat codes for characters and starships that still work perfectly in 2026. This guide will clarify the difference, provide the full list of active codes, and show you the most efficient path to reaching that 3840x maximum multiplier.

The truth about the x10 stud multiplier code

In older LEGO games, you could often enter a simple six-digit code to get a score multiplier. In The Skywalker Saga, the developers at TT Games changed the mechanics. The x10 multiplier is the ultimate endgame reward. To activate it, you must go to the "Extras" tab in your Holoprojector and purchase it using 384,000,000 studs and 1 Datacard.

While that number sounds impossible when you are starting with zero, the game allows multipliers to stack. If you own the x2 and x4 multipliers, your total multiplier becomes x8. If you own all of them (x2, x4, x6, x8, and x10), they multiply together to create a massive 3840x bonus for every single stud you pick up. At that point, a single purple stud is worth millions.

Active character and ship cheat codes (2026)

While the x10 multiplier requires manual unlocking, these 7-character codes will instantly add unique characters and ships to your roster. You can enter these by pausing the game and selecting the keyboard icon, or by going to the Extras tab in the Holoprojector.

Character unlock codes

These codes provide access to rare variants and iconic characters without spending a single stud:

  • C3PHOHO: C-3PO (Holiday Special)
  • WOOKIEE: Chewbacca (Holiday Special)
  • TIPYIPS: D-O (Holiday Special)
  • WROSHYR: Darth Vader (Holiday Special)
  • LIFEDAY: Gonk Droid (Holiday Special)
  • KORDOKU: Poe Dameron (Holiday Special)
  • SKYSAGA: Temmin "Snap" Wexley
  • KH7P320: Aayla Secura
  • XV4WND9: Admiral Holdo
  • OKV7TLR: Dengar
  • SIDIOUS: The Emperor
  • BAC1CKP: Mister Bones
  • WBFE4GO: Nute Gunray
  • Z55T8CQ: Poggle the Lesser
  • GR2VBXF: Ratts Tyerell
  • VT1LFNH: Shaak Ti
  • T9LM1QF: Shmi Skywalker
  • 3FCPPVX: Grand Moff Tarkin

Ship unlock codes

These two ships are exclusive to the code entry system and are highly recommended for early-game space travel:

  • ARVALA7: The Razor Crest (The Mandalorian’s Ship)
  • SHUTTLE: Resistance I-TS Transport

Step-by-step: How to unlock the x10 multiplier fast

Since you cannot use a code for the x10 multiplier, you need a strategy to earn the 384 million studs required. Trying to save up for the x10 immediately is a mistake. You must buy them in sequence.

1. The first million (x2 Multiplier)

Your first goal is 1,000,000 studs and one Datacard.

  • Priority Upgrade: Go to the "Core Upgrades" section in the menu and max out Attract Studs. This increases the radius at which you collect currency, ensuring you don't miss studs hidden in corners or high up.
  • Best Early Farm: Episode IV: A New Hope. The mission "Stay on Target" (the Death Star trench run) is excellent. Destroying turrets and panels yields a high volume of studs in a short time.
  • The Unlock: Once you have 1 million, buy the x2 Stud Multiplier in the Extras menu. From this point on, everything you do is twice as rewarding.

2. Escalating to the x4 and x6 Multipliers

  • x4 Multiplier cost: 2,000,000 studs + 1 Datacard.
  • x6 Multiplier cost: 8,000,000 studs + 1 Datacard.

With the x2 multiplier active, reaching 2 million for the x4 takes half the time. Once you have both, you have an x8 total multiplier. Now, reaching 8 million for the x6 multiplier becomes trivial.

3. The leap to x8 and x10

  • x8 Multiplier cost: 48,000,000 studs + 1 Datacard.
  • x10 Multiplier cost: 384,000,000 studs + 1 Datacard.

This is where the grind usually slows down. However, with x2, x4, and x6 stacked (x48 total), you will be earning millions of studs just by playing through Free Play levels. The jump from x8 to x10 is the largest, but by then you have a x384 multiplier helping you.

Where to find Datacards for multipliers

You need 5 Datacards specifically for the stud multipliers (and 19 in total for all extras). You can find them in the following easy-access locations:

  1. Tatooine (Mos Espa): Located behind your starting house in the slave quarters. Use a character with a high jump or a scavenger to reach the back ledge.
  2. Coruscant (Federal District): Head to the Senate View area. There is a Datacard hidden behind a locked door that requires two characters to stand on pressure plates.
  3. Geonosis (Stalgasin Spire): Use a Scavenger character to climb the cliffs on the west side of the map. The Datacard is sitting on a high rocky outcrop.
  4. Dagobah (Dragonsnake Bog): In the southeast corner of the map, use a Jedi to grapple and swing across the swamp branches to find the card nestled in a tree.
  5. Bespin (Cloud City): Use a Scavenger's Breaker Blaster on a cracked wall in the central plaza area to reveal a hidden path leading to the card.

The ultimate 2026 stud farming method

If you want to reach 384 million as quickly as possible, stop roaming the open world and focus on this specific mission: Episode IX: A Skip and a Jump.

This is the opening level of The Rise of Skywalker where you pilot the Millennium Falcon through an ice tunnel.

Why it works:

  • The level is a "rail shooter," meaning you just have to aim and fire.
  • There are endless pipes and machinery on the tunnel walls that explode into studs.
  • There is no "fail" state that resets your studs.
  • A full run takes less than 5 minutes.

The Strategy:

  1. Equip any multipliers you already own.
  2. Start the mission in Free Play.
  3. Hold down the fire button and sweep the screen constantly. Do not focus on the TIE Fighters; focus on the environment.
  4. At the end of the level, check your total. With a x48 multiplier (x2, x4, x6), you can earn tens of millions per run. With a x384 multiplier, you will hit the 384 million cap in just two or three runs.

Why you should use Mumble Mode immediately

While not a stud multiplier, one of the best "cheats" in the game is Mumble Mode. This is available for free in the Extras menu from the very beginning. It replaces the modern voice acting with the classic grunts and mumbles from the original 2005 LEGO Star Wars games. It doesn't cost a Datacard and provides a massive dose of nostalgia for long-time fans.

Advanced tips for stud management

  • Don't buy characters yet: It is tempting to spend your first few million studs on Darth Vader or the Mandalorian. Avoid this. Every stud spent on a character is a stud that isn't going toward a multiplier. Once you have the x3840 multiplier, you can buy every character in the game in roughly ten seconds.
  • Destroy everything: LEGO games reward destruction. In hub worlds like Coruscant or Mos Eisley, use a character with a rapid-fire blaster (like Captain Phasma or a Bounty Hunter) to mow down city furniture. The studs add up faster than you think.
  • Bounty Hunter Missions: Some Bounty Hunter terminal missions reward high amounts of studs. If you get bored of farming the ice tunnels, these are a productive way to see more of the galaxy while still earning.
  • Avoid the Galaxy Rave: While the "Galaxy Rave" extra is fun, it costs 500 million studs. This is more expensive than the x10 multiplier. Make sure you have all multipliers active before you even consider buying the Rave modifier, as it offers no mechanical advantage.

Managing your game save and trophies

One common concern is whether using these cheat codes or multipliers will disable achievements or trophies. In LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, cheats do not disable trophies. You can safely enter all the character codes and use every single stud multiplier while still pursuing the Platinum trophy or 1000/1000 Gamerscore. In fact, the x10 multiplier is almost required to reach the 100% completion mark efficiently, as the total cost of all ships and characters exceeds a billion studs.

Summary of the stud economy

To recap, here is exactly what you need for the ultimate stud setup:

  1. x2: 1,000,000 studs
  2. x4: 2,000,000 studs
  3. x6: 8,000,000 studs
  4. x8: 48,000,000 studs
  5. x10: 384,000,000 studs

Total studs needed: 443,000,000. Total Datacards needed: 5.

Once you have these five items activated simultaneously, the "stud grind" ceases to exist. You will be able to afford the Ghost, the Death Star, and every obscure Jedi Master in the roster. Stop looking for a shortcut code for the x10 multiplier—there isn't one—but the path to earning it is clearly laid out through the sequence of multipliers and the farming methods described above. Grab the Razor Crest using the code ARVALA7, head to the ice tunnels of Sikir, and start building your fortune.
