How to Respec Your Character
To unlock the respec system, progress through the main story until you complete the “Recruitment Drive” quest and receive “Down and Outbound.” This unlocks the first respec machine, marked on your map with a triangle icon made of three arrows.
Once unlocked, interact with the machine to refund your skill points. You can reassign them immediately, allowing you to test new builds or correct mistakes.
Respec Machine Locations
Here are the confirmed locations of respec machines throughout the world of Kairos:
- The Launchpad: Near the Golden Chest, east of the vending machines.
- Carcadia: Inside the main hall, near the bank.
- Belton’s Bore: South of the spawn point.
- Bones of Sanctuary: East of the teleporter, in the outdoor area.
- The Lockaway: Northeast from the teleporter, beside a large open door.
- Sumpview Falls: Southeast of the teleporter (unlocked later in the game).
- The Food Court: Northwest of the teleporter.
Respec Costs
Respec isn't free. The cost scales with your level. For example, at level 29, it costs $38,519 in in-game currency. Specialization Points require Eridium to reset, which is rarer and harder to farm.
FAQ
Can I respec multiple times?
Yes, you can respec as often as you like, as long as you have enough currency.
Do I lose any progress when I respec?
No, you only reset your skill point allocation. Your level, gear, and story progress remain intact.
Where do I get Eridium?
Eridium is earned through missions, loot drops, and specific farming spots. You'll need it to reset Specialization Points.
Can I respec my companions?
Currently, only your main character can be respecced. Companion builds are fixed.
What if the respec machine isn’t showing up?
Make sure you've completed the required story quests. If it still doesn’t appear, try restarting the game or checking for updates.
Conclusion
Respec machines in Borderlands 4 give you the freedom to experiment and optimize your build. Whether you're chasing synergy or just want to try something new, knowing where to find these machines—and how they work—can make your journey through Kairos much smoother.
