Can you respec in The Outer Worlds 2?

by

So, I was messing around with my character in The Outer Worlds 2, and things weren’t quite clicking. I started wondering if there was a way to basically ‘reset’ my skills and stats – you know, respec my build. It’s something a lot of us run into when we realize our initial plan isn’t working out!

In many role-playing games, you can easily reset your character’s skills and stats, letting you experiment with different playstyles and change how your game unfolds.

But can you respec in The Outer Worlds 2? Here’s what you need to know and how to do it.

Can you respec in The Outer Worlds 2? How to respec explained

Yes, you can respec in The Outer Worlds 2, but only once.

Once you’ve finished the opening section of the game and are rescued from your escape pod, you’ll get a chance to talk with Valerie and Niles.

After what happened in the beginning, we’ll check how your skills are doing, and you’ll have a chance to respond in one of two ways.

Okay, so if I pick “[Respec.] That’s probably for the best. I do feel a little different,” it looks like that’s what actually brings up the menu where I can respec my character!

When I started playing, I could only customize how my character looked and a little bit about their backstory. That’s all I could change at the very beginning!

Okay, so you’ll eventually get a chance to completely reset your character – like, your traits and skills. I’d definitely check it out, even if you’re happy with how things are, just to see what other options are available. You might be surprised and find something that makes your build even better!

It’s really important to think carefully about your character build if you decide to respecialize here. Don’t rush the process!

You’ll only get one chance to completely change your character’s build, so choose carefully! After this, if you want a different playstyle, you’ll have to begin a new game.
