Unlock the Secrets: Guide to Crew Acquisition in Citizen Sleeper

Mastering Crew Recruitment in Citizen Sleeper 2: A Comprehensive Guide

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 outcomes. Losing crew members due to poor dice rolls or missing opportunities is possible.

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

Initial Crew: Serafin and Bliss

Serafin and Bliss join automatically. While Serafin remains with your crew throughout the game, he's generally unavailable for Contracts. No achievements are tied to their recruitment.

Recruiting Juni (Data Archaeologist Achievement)

Juni initially joins temporarily on Hexport. To recruit her permanently:

1. Complete the "Idle Minds" clock at Solheim Records.
2. A cutscene featuring Juni will trigger.
3. Complete the subsequent Contract and accept Juni back onto your ship.

Recruiting Yu-Jin (The Freelancer Achievement)

Yu-Jin is found on Far Spindle:

1. Complete the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia's Gyre (requires selecting "Order a Wrack" four times, costing 16 Cryo).
2. Speak with Yu-Jin and complete his Contract.
3. Recruit him to your team.

Recruiting Luis (Signalchaser Achievement)

During the Aphelion Beacon Contract, choose to leave Yu-Jin behind to recruit Luis.

Recruiting Kadet (The Spindlejack Achievement)

Kadet is encountered on Far Spindle:

2. Complete the options at Stripline Express after the cutscene, triggering another cutscene.
3. Travel to the Scatteryards and recruit Kadet.

Recruiting Femi or Nia (Big Brother or Little Sister Achievement)

You can only recruit one of Femi and Nia:

3. Complete the Contract and choose either Femi (Big Brother Achievement) or Nia (Little Sister Achievement).

Recruiting Flint (Fugitive Achievement)

After your first visit to Olivera:

1. Undertake the Contract investigating Flint's disappearance.
2. Complete the subsequent Contract, quickly setting a trap for an enemy.
