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 can lose crew members through bad luck or miss opportunities entirely. Please comment if you find alternative recruitment methods!
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 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 (order a Wrack four times at Gaia’s Gyre – 16 Cryo total cost). Complete his subsequent Contract to recruit him permanently.
Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks 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: Encountered on Far Spindle after completing the Spindle Core clock. This unlocks a new drive and Stripline Express. Complete the subsequent tasks and cutscenes, then travel to the Scatteryards to recruit Kadet.
Recruiting Kadet unlocks 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 concerning Nia's safety will become available. Upon completion, 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 leads to investigating Flint's disappearance. A subsequent Contract requires setting a trap for an enemy. Follow Xander to rescue Flint and successfully complete the Contract to recruit him.
Recruiting Flint unlocks the Fugitive achievement.
