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 events can influence outcomes. You might lose crew members due to bad luck or miss opportunities entirely. Note: Share any alternative recruitment methods you discover in the comments!
Recruiting Your Crew in Citizen Sleeper 2
Serafin and Bliss: These two join automatically; no achievements are tied to their recruitment. Serafin is generally unavailable for Contracts.
Juni: Initially a temporary crew member on Hexport, Juni leaves but can be permanently recruited after completing the "Idle Minds" clock at Solheim Records. A cutscene follows, leading to 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 his subsequent Contract to recruit him.
Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks the "The Freelancer" achievement.
Luis: During the Aphelion Beacon contract, choosing to leave Yu-Jin behind allows you 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 Stripline Express. Complete the new options there, triggering a cutscene. Travel to the Scatteryards to recruit Kadet.
Recruiting Kadet unlocks the "The Spindlejack" achievement.
Femi & Nia: You can recruit only one. You'll meet Nia on Hexport and Femi on both Hexport and Floatsam. A Contract involving Nia's safety leads to a choice between them.
Recruiting Femi unlocks the "Big Brother" achievement. Recruiting Nia unlocks the "Little Sister" achievement.
Flint: After your first visit to Olivera, a Contract involves investigating Flint's disappearance. A subsequent Contract requires setting a trap; follow Xander to rescue Flint and recruit him.
Recruiting Flint unlocks the "Fugitive" achievement.
