This guide details how to recruit every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2. Remember, while recruitment is usually straightforward (accepting their offer), success in Contracts or other events might influence your ability to recruit certain characters. Losing crew members is also possible through unfortunate dice rolls or missed opportunities. Please comment if you find alternative recruitment methods!
Recruiting Crew Members in Citizen Sleeper 2
Serafin and Bliss: These two join automatically and are always part of your crew. Serafin is generally unavailable for Contracts. No achievements are tied to their recruitment.
Juni: Juni is initially a temporary crew member encountered on Hexport. To permanently recruit Juni, visit Helion Gate after completing the "Idle Minds" clock at Solheim Records. A cutscene will trigger, followed by a Contract. Agree to let Juni rejoin your ship. Recruiting Juni unlocks the "Data Archaeologist" achievement.
Yu-Jin: Find Yu-Jin on Far Spindle after completing the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia’s Gyre (requires ordering a Wrack four times, costing 16 Cryo). Complete the Contract he offers to permanently recruit him. Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks the "The Freelancer" achievement.
Luis: During the Aphelion Beacon Contract, choose to leave Yu-Jin behind to recruit Luis. Recruiting Luis unlocks the "Signalchaser" achievement.
Kadet: First encounter Kadet on Far Spindle after completing the "Spindle Core" clock at the Spindle Core location. This unlocks a new drive and Stripline Express. Complete the new options at Stripline Express, triggering a cutscene. Then, travel to the Scatteryards to recruit Kadet. Recruiting Kadet unlocks the "The Spindlejack" achievement.
Femi & Nia: You can recruit only one of these two. You'll meet Nia on Hexport and Femi on both Hexport and Floatsam. Femi will offer a Contract to ensure Nia's safety. Completing this Contract allows you to choose between Femi ("Big Brother" achievement) and Nia ("Little Sister" achievement).
Flint: After your first visit to Olivera, a Contract will initiate an investigation into Flint's disappearance. This leads to another Contract requiring quick action to set a trap. Follow Xander to rescue Flint and successfully complete the Contract to recruit him. Recruiting Flint unlocks the "Fugitive" achievement.
This completes the guide on recruiting every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2.
