Mass Effect: Andromeda Guide - How to Respec Your Character to Reset Skills

Separated into Combat, Biotics, and Tech sections, the amount of skills that you can acquire in Mass Effect: Andromeda is initially almost overwhelming. In the process of picking your skills, you might later end up feeling that the skills you've chosen aren't suited for an important mission you're trying to finish.

Or perhaps you're just not liking the upgrades you've prioritized thus far, and feel like other skills that you haven't worked on will probably suit your play style better. If you find yourself in this situation, have no fear! Mass Effect: Andromeda has an easily accessible way of respecing to reset your skill points so you can spend them all again. It's slightly hidden away, though - so in this guide we're going to show you how to respec your character.

How to Respec Your Character and Reset your Skill Points

  • In order to respec your character, you're going to need to acquire the Tempest. This will happen after you've finished your missions on Habitat 7 and the Nexus in the game's prologue.
  • Once you've acquired your ship, make your way down to Deck 3. You can do this by climbing down either of the ladders right outside the bridge area, which will lead to a lower level, or use the lift in the back of the cargo bay to head down.
  • Once you climb down either of the ladders, search for the Med Bay room. When facing the Pathfinder's Quarters, which is the room between the two ladders, it should be the bottom right door.
  • Once you're in the Med Bay, turn left. Usually, Lexi is standing and working in the side of the area. To the left of her is the Respec Station.

The Respec Station

The Respec Station will...guess what? Allow you to respec your characters! It's fairly simple business, too. Interact with it and you'll have a list pop up. This list will consist of your character and your squad mates, so you can also respec a squadmate's skills in addition to your own. It will cost you a mere 20 credits to do the first respec; any future respecs will cost you a significantly larger amount of 500 credits. This rises precipitously each time you respec per save file, so do so sparingly.

So now, just pick the character you want to respec, pay the credits for the respec, and the skill points for that character should be reset so that you can re-input their skill points whenever you'd like.
