The more the merrier. Grow your team by learning how to increase crew capacity in SteamWorld Heist 2.
SteamWorld Heist 2 takes you exploring the depths of the unknown ocean and uncovering secrets and treasures. To do so, you need trusty crew members to help you in missions and running your submarine. Increasing your crew capacity and hiring more members allows you to take on more missions daily and thus gain more rewards by maximizing your Reputation.
Each crew has special skills, advantages, and disadvantages, useful when strategizing to tackle specific missions or bosses. Furthermore, the more crew members you recruit, the more missions you can complete in one day, thus getting more rewards quickly, and strengthening your team.

Increasing Crew Capacity in SteamWorld Heist 2
Starting with a crew of four members, you can hire ten more. You will get the chance to upgrade Crew Capacity as you play through the main story. At a bar, when you see new upgrade notifications, go to your submarine’s upgrade screen and purchase Bunk Beds. This lets you hire more crews, increasing crew capacity.
However, doing this is not always easy as it requires Fragments, the rarer currency of SteamWorld Heist 2. You’ll earn some as you play but to gain a good number of them, you’d have to farm them for some time. After upgrading your Bunk Beds, you will find new crew members interested in joining, hire them using Gallons, and strengthen your team.
Don’t forget to give your crew members the most suitable jobs, upgrade their skills by undertaking missions, and equip the best gear.
