Stud magnet cheat

[Ben McLean]

By the time you earn the stud magnet in the game, it doesn't matter anymore!! There's got to be some way to cheat it into the game early, like maybe hacking a savegame file?

Most Lego games have an area where you can enter codes. These codes do many of the same things like unlocking extras and characters. Try Google.

I'm not an idiot. Of course I've checked Google. No one's found a code for this

No, I haven't seen one. All red bricks (except for 2x multiplier) must be unlocked doing those 11 Deadpool missions. I only saw 2x red brick cheat.

When you get it, it's not a waste at all since you still need to replay levels in Free Play to get everything.

What I usually do is Story with a little exploring/side stuff > Find the stud multipliers > Free Play/Bonus levels.

When you have all the stud multipliers (and they stack) you can easily get enough money for everything else.

I'm not talking about the multipliers. I'm talking about the stud magnet / stud attract extra. It's a convenience so that you don't have to run around so much to pick up all the studs around you when you break stuff. It just sucks them up. But in Lego Marvel Super Heroes, it's in one of the later Deadpool misisons. So, by the time you get that, you are most of the way through the game and have no need of money because you will have already bought most of the multipliers by that point. It's a horrible design. It shouldn't even be an extra -- you should just have it all the time IMO. This is an ability which would be most useful at the beginning of the game, and decreases in usefulness as the game progresses, but you only obtain it near the end, when it doesn't matter anymore! >:(

It's located in Stud Show Surprise, which is the level in the circus tent, and you need to already have 100 Gold Bricks to get in to that level. And by that point, odds are you will already have enough money for anything you really care about buying in the game, so you won't need it.

I really appreciated being able to just type in a cheat for it in earlier LEGO titles. That and any multipliers are the only cheats which matter.
