Can you reset special/perks down the line?

Just wanna know. Going into this blind mostly. So, I just want to know if ruining a character is something that can happen in this game.

[perfectevil]

Yes, you can

[John Henry Eden]

you can change whatever you want, nothing is locked in

Thank you. This is quite a relief for me since I didn't want to read guides and the likes from the get go.

You can't 'reset' but you can keep on levelling to fix mistakes.

Doing mistakes is part of the game, simply a learning process, no worry ... !

You will have to scrap perk cards, eventually for Legendary Perks points, so ... .

Oh. I guess that is one way to look at things. Thanks.

I don't have a massive amount of time to play. Just making sure there is somekind of safety net so I don't end up with a non-viable character several hours in.

Good to know the game allows for enough flexibility to correct mistakes down the line.

After a while you stop fearing get killed. It's a must.

At level 25 the Punch Card machine unlocks which allows you to move Special points around.

Perk Cards you get more very time you level up so you can get any cards you need later on.

At level 25 you say? I'll keep a note about it. Thank you for that information.

Punch card machines are available at every train station, many camps, and other popular locations on the map.

Yes but it has some limits

You need the points or cards to get more... eventually you can have them all

So swapping from a melee to heavy build early isn't painless but doing it at 1000 is easy

legendary perks are limited in changing too you can swap it twice every level (by sacrificing the levelup to perk coins and spending them) again eventually it doesn't matter

A min/max exp build IF you have friends helping you will have you at around 1250 in 2 hours currently (way up from before when it was about 800) they really did a few things to ramp up exp gain

There is this CAMP item you get at a certain level that allows you to reset your SPECIAL.
Perk Cards you already have at whatever level are still there and can reset it here.
Levels 1-50 in Perk Cards chose are permanent as are any thereafter.
Trying to do everything or more things will result in a highly flawed character and will take longer to fix.
There are many types of builds which I suggest you learn about and find one main one to focus on.
