Gold bricks grant you unique rewards that you normally won’t find from their red counterparts. The problem is that breaking these bricks will entail certain requirements that you have to meet first. Let’s have a look at what those requirements are.
How to Break Gold Bricks and Blocks in LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga
First off, you have to find a gold brick first. If you have played the game per episode, you’ll come across one gold brick at the very start, specifically in the lower part of Gungan city. However, if you don’t meet the requirements, you won’t be able to do anything to it. The gold brick will just sit there without any option to interact with it.
In order to break a gold brick, you need to unlock a certain class. For this, you have to unlock a Bounty Hunter character. Any character will do as long as he/she is a bounty hunter. Some examples include Boba Fett, IG-88, Zam Wesell, Leia, and more.
To unlock these characters, you’ll have to play through the corresponding chapters until you unlock one. Once you have unlocked a bounty hunter, simply switch to that character, aim your gun at the golden block, and fire away until it heats up and eventually breaks. It’s really easy to break so it won’t take that long.
After that, it will just blow up and you’ll then gain access to the sweet reward inside. It’s that simple!
