Recruiting as many crew members as possible will not only increase the amount of rewards you get from Reputation but can also give you more specialized options when tackling a difficult mission or boss fight.

How To Increase Crew Capacity In Steamworld Heist 2
Crew Capacity is increased by getting the Bunk Beds Sub Upgrade. While not immediately available, these sub upgrades will become available as you progress through the story. Usually, it happens at a bar after a major mission, and you’ll receive a notification letting you know that new sub upgrades are available for you to purchase.

Why Recruit More Crew Members In Steamworld Heist 2
While some crew members are better than others, it is still important to recruit every crew member in the game to maximize your Reputation. Each crew member can only complete one mission in a day, and earned Reputation doesn’t carry over to another day. With more crew members, you’ll be able tocomplete multiple missions in a single day tomaximize your Reputationand earn some of the later rewards in the options.
Missions can be repeated as many times as you’d like to farm Reputation even though the rewards are limited. This method will also help level up your crew in various jobs to let them use Cogs to pick out the best skills to equip and make them as strong as they can get.
Every Reputation turns into three gallons if not used at the end of the day.
