This guide details how to recruit every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2. Remember, while recruitment is usually straightforward (accepting their offer to join), success in Contracts or other events can influence your ability to recruit certain characters. Also, be aware that you can lose crew members or miss out on them entirely through poor rolls or missed opportunities. Please comment if you find alternative recruitment methods!
Recruiting Your Crew 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: Initially a temporary crew member on Hexport, Juni can be permanently recruited 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: Found 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 recruit him permanently.
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 encountered on Far Spindle after completing the "Spindle Core" clock. This unlocks a new drive and the Stripline Express location. Complete the tasks 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 only recruit one of these two. You'll meet Nia on Hexport and Femi on both Hexport and Floatsam. A Contract involving Nia's safety will become available. Complete it to choose between Femi and Nia.
Recruiting Femi unlocks the "Big Brother" achievement. Recruiting Nia unlocks the "Little Sister" achievement.
Flint: After your first visit to Olivera, a Contract will lead you to investigate Flint's disappearance. A subsequent Contract requires quickly setting a trap for an enemy. Follow Xander to rescue Flint and then recruit him.
Recruiting Flint unlocks the "Fugitive" achievement.
This completes the guide on recruiting every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2.
