How to Respec Perks and Attributes

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty - Can You Reset Attributes and Respec Perks

This is a guide on how to respec perks and attributes in Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition.

How to Respec Perks

You can freely respec your perk points at any time. This enables you to experiment with available perks for a specific attribute, making it easy to switch if a particular perk doesn't benefit your gameplay. To learn how to respec your perks, follow the steps below.

  1. Open the Character Menu
  2. Select the Attribute of the Perk You Want to Refund
  3. Select New Perks with the Refunded Perk Points

Open the Character Menu

To start respeccing your perks, open the menu and access the Character sheet to access your attributes. This will also display the available perk points that can be used to unlock perks for each attribute.

Select the Attribute of the Perk You Want to Refund

Hover over the attribute associated with the perk you want to refund. Once you're on the Perks Screen, just select the attribute you wish to remove. This will refund your perk points, which can then be used to unlock perks from any other attribute.

Perk Point Respecs are Free

Perk Points can be refunded and redistributed for free as you respec. To refund a perk, hover over one of your acquired perks (marked yellow), and hit the corresponding button shown in the tooltip to refund your spent Perk Point.

Unfortunately, there is no Refund All button. Players will need to manually refund each acquired perk if they plan to edit or rework their entire build.

Select New Perks with the Refunded Perk Points

After receiving the refunded perk points, you can freely choose and use other perks that you have yet to try, even those from different attributes. All unlockable perks will be indicated with a pale blue color. Hover over any available perks and select the one you want to unlock.

How to Respec Attributes

You can respec all your attributes, but only once per gameplay. Make sure to carefully plan your builds before you start resetting your attributes and respec. To learn how to respec your character's attributes and skill points, simply follow the steps below.

  1. Check the Character Menu
  2. Hit the “Reset Attributes” Button to Respec
  3. Respec Your Attribute Points

Open the Character Menu

To begin, open your menu and select the character screen to view all your attributes. You can do this with any of your save files, so be sure to load the one you want to start with before you respec.

Hit the “Reset Attributes” Button to Respec

Once you have accessed your character menu, click on the Reset Attribute button below to reset all your attribute points to default.

Respec Your Attribute Points

After pressing the Reset Attribute button, you can now freely respec your character's attributes and skill points. Remember that you can only do this once, so make sure to plan out how you want to reallocate your attribute points before proceeding.

Attribute Points Can be Reset Once Per Playthrough

You can reset attributes at least once per playthrough. To reset your attributes, go to the Character Tab and hit the Reset Attributes button at the bottom left of the screen.

Remember that you can only do this once, so make sure you have your next build planned (or make a separate save first) before refunding your points!

Should rename the article to perk respec only. The name is rather clickbaity with the attribute mention since there is no way to do so currently. Should have just said it's not possible to respec attributes and not make it seem like it IS possible in the title.
