To find the source of the sea’s corruption in SteamWorld Heist 2, you’re gonna need a full crew of hearty Steambots. To help you on your SWH2 journey, this guide covers how to recruit all Crewmates and the best Jobs and Skills to use to make the most of their unique abilities.
There are ten Crewmates in SteamWorld Heist 2, and recruiting them all earns you the Gonna Need a Bigger Boat achievement. The first two characters — Daisy and Wesley — are given to you at the beginning of the game, while the other 8 are recruited from bars.
As you visit bars throughout the game, you’ll notice recruitable NPCs with the Gallon icon and a number above their heads. Talk to them and exchange your hard-earned Gallons to permanently recruit them as a Crewmate.
The crewmates who appear in bars are random on a daily basis, and their price is dependent on how many Crew members you have already. The number of Crewmates you can recruit increases as you progress the game, eventually allowing you to hire all ten.
I highly recommend recruiting Tristan, Sol, and Cornelius before most other Crewmates. Tristan is a fantastic healer and saved my robotic butt more times than I can count. Cornelius is a bonafide tank and can redirect enemies off squishier bots. Finally, Sol has (arguably) the best Personal Upgrades in the game with the Eldritch Beam that damages, heals, and replenishes.
Wesley’s Personal Upgrades make him the perfect Boomer. With the right skills, Wesley can be built to deal considerable splash damage to weaker enemies, buffing himself for huge single target damage, perfect for boss stages.
Boomers will hurt themselves when using a Rocket Launcher too close to an enemy. Blast Shield minimizes self-damage in this situation, while Payback increases damage when you’re a little too close to your own explosions. Wesley’s focus on splash and AoE damage makes Momentum an excellent passive damage increase.
Daisy works well as a Flanker, focusing on high mobility to save the day with Stun Gun. Thanks to her Studious Upgrade, however, Daisy is the perfect blank slate to make various crazy combinations between all jobs due to a lower cog cost.
The best Skills for Daisy will depend on your chosen job, though the Skills listed above synergize best with improving her movement and utility with Stun Gun.
Sola has extremely powerful Personal Upgrades, with an Eldritch Beam that does huge damage, heals, reduces cooldown for each bot scrapped, and is a free action. Due to its sheer power and range, Sola is suitable for any job you like.
Surgical Strike and Hunter’s Mark help to improve Eldritch Beam’s damage, while Cool reduces its cooldown. Surgical Strike is a nice increase to healing, making Sola tankier.
Judy has an interesting Personal Upgrade that allows her to hit any enemy for splash damage every three turns from anywhere on the map. Like Sol, Judy is suitable for any job, though you may want to keep her as a Boomer for the “explosions” theme.
There are no Job Skills that directly benefit Judy’s abilities in a significant way. Tailor your extra abilities to the job you have chosen or your current level.
Tristan’s Always Prepared Upgrade makes him the perfect healer as an Engineer. Ultimate Upgrade also means he’s great at Breaking multiple enemies and setting up defenses for the rest of the team.
Tristan is best used to support the team, keeping them alive by healing them and keeping them out of danger. Slot Machine will allow him to equip an extra healing item, Squeeze gives them an extra use, and Smoke Bomb can keep both himself and others safe. Nimble Feet and Sidestep can be the difference between life and death, reaching Crewmates on the brink of being scrapped.
Cornelius is born to be a tank, making him the perfect Brawler. Building up this bot to be as beefy as possible allows him to soak up hits and turn them into pure damage.
Thick Plating and Maintenace Protocol increases Cornelius’ survivability, which is essential for his role as a tank. Since he will be regularly taking damage, Rage is a nice passive bonus. Finally, Light Step means Cornelius can continue to be useful in stages with elemental hazards.
With his ability to teleport to vantage points and become invisible, Beacon makes an ideal Sniper. Alternatively, Beacon can also be a great Flanker. I recommend leveling both jobs and switching them to suit your current mission.
Fortify and Build Cover both ensure Beacon can be behind cover while sniping. Cool reduces the cooldown of Scram, which usually takes 5 turns to recharge.
Poe‘s Personal Upgrades aren’t particularly exciting, but they do make her a solid Flanker or Aura-based Engineer
Shifty and Nimble Feet build upon Poe’s movement to likely make her the furthest-moving bot in your Crew. Since she can get around to any teammate quickly, Greased Up, Wide Aura and Amped Up are great choices to buff your crew.
Once you unlock her Ultimate Personal Upgrade, Chimney is a surprisingly good Reaper. Combined with skills like the Reaper’s signature Kill Shot and Harvest, Rosa will be able to attack multiple times throughout her turns. Tit for Tat also comes in handy to help her survivability and keep enemies out of her way.
If you recruit Chimney later in the game, she’ll automatically be a Level 5 Brawler. Hard Shell and Second Wind both help with survivability as a Reaper and, combined with Payback, allows her to take advantage of Tit for Tat.
Crowbarhas a very powerful Personal Upgrade that deals passive damage to enemies standing near her after attacking. She makes a powerful Reaper or Flanker, depending on which Job you’re lacking in your Crew.
Shifty and Momentum take advantage of Crowbar’s potential for scrapping multiple bots on her turns. Mines has good synergy with Bad Vibes, making it lethal for any bot to get close to her. Finally, Light Step prevents hazards from ruining multi-target potential from Bad Vibes.
With your Crew all decked out to do the most damage, don’t forget that they need to look the part, too. Check out our guide on every hat in SteamWorld Heist 2 and how to get them.
