Can you reset badass tokens?

[Overlord Hades]

I really want to re do the way my tokens work since I know a lot more about the game since I started playing it. Is there a way to do it? Can I like email gearbox about it? Secret third option? So anyone know?

EDIT: Thanks for the responses, but none of that was what I was looking for, I just wanted to re-spec the tokens but I dont want to modify the game or cheat to do it. Im assuming theres no natural way and I doubt if I emailed gearbox about it they would refund me. Thanks for the responses anyways. I think the threads gone as far as its going to.

EDIT2: NOt feeding the troll that wants to add nothing and be rude. Consider the topic unoffically closed, thanks to the people who offered actual suggestions.

No, I dont want to cheat, I want to have the option to use my tokens more wisely. How is that cheating?

There is a way that will reset your profile.bin (where the BAR settings are).

The only problem with using this method is that you will lose all unlocked skins and golden keys as well, and also any items in Claptrap's stash.

Still interested?

Delete the profile.bin file in your save file folder. This file is where the BAR settings are stored. When you reload your character, the game will create a new profile.bin using data from your save file. You will end up up with a bunch of unallocated tokens that you can re-allocate as you want. The BAR will not change, as this is calculated from your save file.

It is probably a better idea to rename profile.bin to something else rather than simply deleting it. That way if you don't like the results of having to start all over again with skins, you can take things back to what they were.

Now you get to find and unlock all those skins again...

Save file folder is here : (Windows)
My Documents - My Games - Borderlands 2 - WillowGame - SaveData - [long number]

Seeing as the game prevents you from "abusing" tokens for any single option, you really shouldn't need to, as you will continually earn them (albeit slower than before, depending on much you already have).

What I mean is, just because you now "know more about the game" doesn't mean you can distribute them as you wish. You will get blocked by the game from overly putting points into gun damage for example.

Very high level players will have their BAR pretty much evenly distributed, more or less - minus skills some pople just ignore and a few variable stats simply because they specced them more, but not (overly) noticably more than anything else.

Point is, you are supposed to gradually and evenly raise all stats (again, more or less).

So no matter how borked you think your BAR stats are, they are not and will even out in time.

Edit: Unless you are nuts about shield regen, say, for certain roid builds or whatnot. But even then, well, tough luck. Reset completely or don't, your choice.

Fair enough, I was hoping maybe I could email gearbox and ask if they could just give me some tokens back because I regret not investing in certian stats more, now that I know what I want more of. I guess not though, im not interested in altering my files or resetting my game completely.

Ahh, yes, there is a (fairly easy) way to do that. You'll need access to a Mac. The Mac save editor (Bordertool 2) can edit the Profile.bin file. That includes adjusting (or comepletely reseting) Badass Ranks.

My understanding is that the files are the same, so if you copy your existing Profile.bin file you should be able to open it and edit it.

Provided you either have, or can borrow a Mac for a few minutes.

There's always the option of growing some balls and just disabling those scrubby bonus stats. They aren't necessary.

Does this profile editor for Windows not work?

No idea, I've never used it. On the Mac side, Bordertool2 does everything in one app.

People tell me Gibbed doesn't work on the Profile.bin file, beyond that, I haven't really looked into what it takes to edit it using Windows.

[dontu_worry]

There is a Windows profile editor. It will, ironically enough, do what the petulant OP wants.

Go figure.

I dont want to edit game data, I was asking for an official way that wont involve tampering and cheating. I doubt you read my edit and youve added nothing to the thread in your 3 posts, you can leave now, your no better then the Yishai guy who was alsobeing a douche.

Nice job with that reading though, really hilights your preetensious attitude and ignorance. Pairs nicely.

OP asks for a way to do something.
Thread provides a way to do what he wants.
OP becomes angry and throws tantrum.

Makes sense.
