So the bonus stats you get for your badass rank is shared and accumulated amongst all your characters. So each character has their own level and stats while your badass rank is like your level (as a player) and your the stats you gain are given to all your characters.

This is great and I love the idea but I accidentally used up one of my badass tokens on a stat I didn't want.

Is it possible to respec my badass rank bonus points so I can use my badass tokens on abilities that I do want? How can I do it?

Just to be clear, I don't necessarily want to be able to use all my tokens on one single stat, I just want to be refunded all my tokens so I can start building up my stats again. And that includes being limited to choosing 1 of 5 (random?) stats per token.

The answer is NO, you can't. There is no feature to reset them.

Also i did check and it seems those stats are stored on remote servers and not your local machine, so we can't just tweak a file either. (As best as i could find.)

I emailed Gearbox support with the same question outlining the issues and they responded within 3 hours and reset all badass points. Super easy and no hassles. Good luck!

(My previous post was deleted, but I wanted to respond with a new and improved answer.)

Actually the bonus stats are saved locally in your profile.bin file, well for PC at least. If you delete that it will remove all your points etc. I can't find anything on the game about the player that is stored on a server. There is no way though to modify the file at the moment.

There is no way to respec badass stats within the game itself.

Badass stats, golden keys, and skins are stored in profile.bin, located in

C:\Users\[PC user name]\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\SaveData\7656119[Steam ID].

The "Borderlands 2 - Profile Editor" lets one modify these data.

I have used it myself and confirm its functionality. Here are results for virus checks of the two files: Borderlands 2 - Profile Editor.exe and LZO.dll.

I'm not sure what you want to accomplish would be possible, regardless of whether you could reset your badass rank.

The stat choices appear to be randomly selected with a weight toward the stats that have lower bonuses, so eventually you'll wind up with a list of nothing but "bad" stats, forcing you to choose one.

just delete bin file, then re-login with you character. It will reset badass rank.

To add to what others have put:

The 5 badass rank choices will almost always be your 5 lowest ranks. so you can only pick 4 you don't want to upgrade and the others will upgrade (roughly) equally

EG.

Max health 0%, Shield capacity 0%, Shield recharge delay 0%, Shield recharge rate 0%, Everything else 2.2%

You will (nearly) always get to choose from. Max health, Shield capacity, Shield recharge delay, Shield recharge rate, and one random bonus from the rest.

You can reset the badass tokens simple. Go into your save game folder and find the file profile.bin and delete this file. Then load borderlands 2 up once and close out then load it up again. select the character that you want to use and then you have your tokens back.
