Borderlands 4 How to Respec Guide
Respec is one of the most useful features in Borderlands 4. It lets you refund every skill point you’ve spent and rebuild your Vault Hunter from scratch. With so many skill trees and builds to experiment with, knowing how to respec can save you from being locked into a weak setup.
How to Respec in Borderlands 4
You unlock the respec machine during the story mission “Down and Outbound,” after finishing “Recruitment Drive.” Once unlocked, you’ll see the respec machine marked by a three-arrow triangle icon on the map.
Using it costs cash, and the price scales with your level. For example, at level 30 the respec cost is over $40,000. After paying, you can refund all your skill points and reassign them however you like.
Specialization Points can also be reset at the same machine, but instead of cash, you’ll need Eridium.
You can use respec as many times as you want, but you must pay every time you activate the machine.
Borderlands 4 Respec Machine Locations
Multiple machines are scattered across the game, so you don’t always need to travel back to the Launchpad. Here are all the confirmed respec machine locations:
Belton’s Bore
Bones of Sanctuary
Carcadia
The Food Court
The Launchpad
The Lockaway
The Sumpview Falls
Belton’s Bore
The respec machine is toward the south, right near the spawn point. This makes it one of the fastest places to reset skills.
Bones of Sanctuary
From the teleporter, head east to the outside area. The respec machine is close by and easy to reach.
Carcadia
Inside the main hall where the bank and vending machines are located. Enter the building and turn right to spot it.
The Food Court
From the teleporter, go northwest. The machine is positioned conveniently near the center of the district.
The Launchpad
Head up the stairs from the teleporter and exit the building. Turn left, then left again. The machine is inside the vending machine building next to the Golden Chest.
The Lockaway
From the teleporter, head northeast. The machine is set beside the large open door, making it another fast option.
The Sumpview Falls
Unlocked later in the game after The Lockaway. From the teleporter, go southeast into the Safehouse to reach the machine.
Final Blurb
Respeccing in Borderlands 4 is simple once you unlock the first machine in “Down and Outbound.” Every location afterward makes it easier to swap skills without traveling far. Whether you want to try a new build, recover from a bad setup, or fine-tune your specialization, respec ensures your Vault Hunter is never locked into one path.
