The Family You Choose Achievement

This guide will help you navigate the process of recruiting companions in the game.

During the main story quests, you will automatically encounter seven recruitable companions: Andreja, Barrett, Heller, Lin, Sam Coe, Sarah Morgan, and Vasco.

In addition to these, other companions can be recruited in various locations such as bars, diners, and pubs. Follow these steps:

1. Location:

   • Go to System: Alpha Centauri.
   • Planet: Jemison.
   • Landing Site: New Atlantis.

2. Directions:

   • From the landing pad, walk straight ahead until you reach the open area with the train station.
   • Turn left and enter the shop called “The Viewport”.

3. Recruitment Process:
   • Talk to the people inside The Viewport.
   • Most individuals here can be recruited for a sum ranging between 6,500 and 18,000 credits per person.

While this might seem pricey in the early stages of the game, you will accumulate upwards of 1 million credits automatically from the Main Story and the four Faction Questlines.

Additionally, you can always accrue quick money by selling loot to merchants. If they run out of money, simply sleep in bed for 48 hours (either on your ship or in the lodge) to refresh their funds, allowing you to sell more items.

After recruiting someone, you will need to assign them to a place:

Assignment:

• Assign each person to your ship.
• Once your ship is full, continue assigning the next person until the achievement is unlocked.

You might need to recruit a total of 12 people for the achievement to pop (6 from the story, and 6 from The Viewport bar). If the achievement doesn’t unlock after recruiting 10 companions, simply recruit a few more or assign them to different places.
