Finding every Red Brick in LEGO Marvel's Avengers is essential for players who want to unlock game-changing cheats like stud multipliers, detectors, and special abilities. Unlike traditional LEGO games where Red Bricks are simply hidden in levels, this title requires players to complete specific requests for The Collector in Free Play mode.

How Red Bricks Work in LEGO Marvel's Avengers

To acquire a Red Brick, players must locate The Collector within each of the fifteen main story levels while playing in Free Play mode. He will request a specific item hidden within that level's environment. Once you find the requested object and deliver it to him, he rewards you with the level's Red Brick.

After acquiring a Red Brick during a mission, you must purchase its corresponding cheat using in-game studs. Players can visit The Collector's room on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier to turn on these newly unlocked abilities.

Essential Characters Needed for Red Brick Quests

Completing every request for The Collector requires specific character powers that are unavailable during initial story playthroughs. Completing the story unlocks most necessary abilities, but a few specific abilities remain mandatory for certain puzzles.

For instance, Ultron is required for interacting with cosmic LEGO objects, while a character like Squirrel Girl is useful for digging up buried items. Having a flexible character roster makes returning to previous levels much more efficient.

Unlocking Stud Multipliers and Detector Cheats

The most valuable Red Bricks in the game grant stud multiplication factors ranging from x2 up to x10. Unlocking and stacking these multipliers enables players to easily afford every other unlockable character and extra in the game.

Additionally, detector Red Bricks highlight the locations of Minikits, Gold Bricks, Character Tokens, and Stan Lee in Peril. Utilizing these tools significantly speeds up overall game completion.

Purchasing and Activating Your Cheats

Once you collect a Red Brick, travel back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier hub area. Walk into the room on the left side of the bridge to access the purchasing station.

Ensure that you toggle the activated extras in your options menu after purchasing them. Turning on all Red Bricks simultaneously grants a dedicated achievement for completionists.
