How to Get Every Crew Member in Citizen Sleeper 2
How to Get Serafin and Bliss
Your journey begins with Serafin and Bliss, automatically joining your crew. While Serafin remains a permanent member, he's generally unavailable for contracts. Neither character unlocks any specific achievements.
How to Get Juni
Juni initially appears as a temporary crew member on Hexport. To recruit Juni permanently, head to Helion Gate after completing the "Idle Minds" clock at Solheim Records. A cutscene will trigger, leading to a contract. Agree to take Juni back aboard your ship to secure their services permanently. Recruiting Juni unlocks the "Data Archaeologist" achievement.
How to Get Yu-Jin
Find Yu-Jin on Far Spindle after completing the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia's Gyre (select "Order a Wrack" four times, costing 16 Cryo). This opens a conversation and a contract with Yu-Jin. Completing the contract allows you to permanently recruit him. Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks the "The Freelancer" achievement.
How to Get Luis
During the "Aphelion Beacon" contract, you face a choice: leave Yu-Jin behind. Doing so opens the path to recruiting Luis. Recruiting Luis unlocks the "Signalchaser" achievement.
How to Get Kadet
Your first encounter with Kadet is on Far Spindle after completing the "Spindle Core" clock at the Spindle Core location. This unlocks a new drive and the Stripline Express location. Complete the new options at Stripline Express, triggering a cutscene. Finally, travel to the Scatteryards on The Belt to recruit Kadet. Recruiting Kadet unlocks the "The Spindlejack" achievement.
How to Get Femi & Nia
Recruiting Femi or Nia presents a choice. You'll meet Nia on Hexport and encounter Femi there and again on Floatsam. Femi offers a contract to ensure Nia's safety. Complete the contract to choose between recruiting Femi (unlocks "Big Brother" achievement) or Nia (unlocks "Little Sister" achievement).
How to Get Flint
A visit to Olivera triggers a contract investigating Flint's disappearance. This leads to another contract requiring swift action to set a trap. Following Xander to rescue Flint and succeeding in the contract allows you to recruit him. Recruiting Flint unlocks the "Fugitive" achievement.
