Multipliers are variables by which damage is scaled in Chicken Invaders games, altering the game's difficulty. The only weapon that is never affected by scaling is the Missile from The Next Wave. In the episodes, they are different depending on the Skill, amount of players, and whether you're playing a PC, tablet, or a mobile version. There are additional multipliers for certain unlockables, Weapon Groups and enemy weak spots. In Universe, they only depend on whether you have the Damage Amplifier or the Tourist skill active.
The multiplier table for Universe is far more simple than the one for episodes, as multipliers have been dropped from all skill levels except for Tourist.
Multipliers can be divided into three types, those being Skill level, Multiplayer and Others.
Skill Level[]
These multipliers are the base multiplier used for calculating damage. It's different depending on the skill level and the version of the game, as mobile versions were made easier. It can sometimes be also different depending on the episode.

Multiplayer[]
These multipliers are applied only during multiplayer matches. They're different depending on the amount of players active and the episode, as they were made easier in Ultimate Omelette onward. The formula used to calculate this in CI3 is 2 divided by (1 + player amount), while in CI4+ it's 10 divided by (7 + 3 times player amount).
