Recruiting Crew in Citizen Sleeper: Ultimate Guide

Mastering Crew Recruitment in Citizen Sleeper 2

This guide details how to acquire every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2. Remember, while recruitment is usually straightforward (accepting their offer to join), success in certain Contracts or events can influence your ability to recruit specific individuals. Also, be aware that crew members can be lost due to unfortunate dice rolls or missed opportunities.

Note: Due to the game's dynamic nature, please share any alternative recruitment methods you discover in the comments!

Initial Crew:

Serafin and Bliss are automatically added to your crew at the game's start. Serafin is generally unavailable for Contracts, but both are permanent members with no associated achievements.

Recruiting Juni:

Juni initially appears as a temporary crewmate on Hexport. To recruit Juni permanently:

1. Complete the "Idle Minds" clock at Solheim Records.
2. A cutscene featuring Juni will trigger.
3. Complete the subsequent Contract and agree to let Juni rejoin your ship.

Recruiting Juni unlocks the "Data Archaeologist" achievement.

Recruiting Yu-Jin:

Yu-Jin is encountered on Far Spindle:

1. Complete the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia's Gyre (requires ordering a Wrack four times, costing 16 Cryo).
2. Speak with Yu-Jin and complete his Contract.
3. Upon Contract completion, recruit Yu-Jin permanently.

Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks the "The Freelancer" achievement.

Recruiting Luis:

During the "Aphelion Beacon" Contract, choosing to leave Yu-Jin behind allows you to recruit Luis.

Recruiting Luis unlocks the "Signalchaser" achievement.

Recruiting Kadet:

Kadet is found on Far Spindle:

1. Complete the "Spindle Core" clock at the Spindle Core location (unlocks a new drive and Stripline Express).
2. Complete the new options at Stripline Express following the cutscene. Another cutscene will follow.
3. Travel to the Scatteryards (a different area in The Belt) to recruit Kadet.

Recruiting Kadet unlocks the "The Spindlejack" achievement.

Recruiting Femi or Nia:

You can recruit either Femi or Nia, but not both.

1. Initially interact with Nia on Hexport, where you'll also meet Femi.
2. Encounter Femi again on Floatsam; he'll offer a Contract to ensure Nia's safety.
3. Complete the Contract; at the conclusion, choose between Femi and Nia.

Recruiting Femi unlocks the "Big Brother" achievement; recruiting Nia unlocks the "Little Sister" achievement.

Recruiting Flint:

After your first visit to Olivera, you'll receive a Contract to investigate Flint's disappearance. This leads to another Contract requiring swift action to set a trap for an enemy. Follow Xander to rescue Flint and successfully complete the Contract to recruit him.

Recruiting Flint unlocks the "Fugitive" achievement.
