How to Respec Skills in Borderlands 4: A Complete Guide

With the vast array of skills available in Borderlands 4, you’ll likely find yourself reshaping your Vault Hunter’s abilities multiple times. If you’re a seasoned player, you already know that experimenting with new builds is a core part of the experience.

To start respec-ing your Vault Hunter in Borderlands 4, you first need to locate and unlock Respec Machines. Your journey begins by completing the ‘Down and Outbound’ quest, which grants access to your first Respec Machine. As you progress through the main storyline and explore larger safehouses or Faction HQs, you’ll unlock additional machines.

Each character respec comes with a cost that scales based on your current wealth and character level. Keep in mind, respec-ing Specializations—those advanced capabilities you unlock at the endgame—requires Eridium, a valuable in-game resource.

You’ll need to pay a fee every time you use a Respec Machine. However, once you’ve made your payment, you can endlessly select and refund skills until you finalize your build and exit the screen.
