How to Recruit Soldiers in Phoenix Point

One of the first thing you’ll have to do in Phoenix Point is to grow your roster in, bolstering the ranks and replacing fallen soldiers.

While games like XCOM made it so that you could simply get soldiers through barracks, Phoenix Point is a little bit different.

In order to recruit soldiers, you must discover training centers among the various havens located in the game.

Havens can be found by moving to and exploring the question marks that make up the globe after area scans are complete.

When you find a haven that has a training center, which are identified by the human symbol next to their location after they are discovered, there will be soldiers available.

To recruit them, you must have the necessary resources – varying amount wise between Food, Tech, and Material – listed above their name. If you have the resources, simply hit recruit soldiers to recruit them and add them to the team.

Once they are on your team, you can customize their look and name pretty easily, making them part of the team seamlessly.

Time needed: 5 minutes

To summarize, this is how to recruit soldiers in Phoenix Point:

  1. Soldiers can be found via training centers in certain havens located in the game.

    Havens must be discovered via exploration.

  2. Havens with the human symbol next to them have soldiers that can be recruited.

    Only havens with training centers have these characters.

  3. Click on the character in the training center and recruit them.

    You must have the resources requested to recruit each character.

That is everything you need to know about how to recruit soldiers on Phoenix Point.
