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. Also note that you can lose crew members through unlucky rolls or miss recruitment opportunities entirely. Please comment if you find alternative recruitment methods!
Recruiting Crew Members in Citizen Sleeper 2
Serafin and Bliss: These two join your crew automatically at the game's start. Serafin is generally unavailable for Contracts, and neither character has a related achievement.
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 Yu-Jin's 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 the Stripline Express location. Complete the tasks at Stripline Express, triggering a cutscene. Finally, 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. A Contract to ensure Nia's safety will become available. Upon completion, choose either Femi or 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 initiate an investigation into Flint's disappearance. This leads to another Contract requiring a quick trap setup. 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.
