Direct answer

Yes—hire Cly if you want the fullest roster, story, and completion path. An initial refusal gives you another chance to reconsider, but the final “Really Don't Hire Cly” choice removes her and blocks two Cly missions plus their associated achievements for that playthrough.

Decision path

Choose with this context

  1. 01

    Choose Hire Cly when the recruitment decision appears.

  2. 02

    If you refused once, accept Neesh's opportunity to reconsider.

  3. 03

    Do not select the final Really Don't Hire Cly response if you want her missions or completion rewards.

  4. 04

    Review Cly's later requests before advancing the day so an optional commitment is not missed.

Why hiring is the default

Recruiting Cly keeps a distinctive Mandalorian operator, her conversations, and her personal mission chain available. The reviewed sources identify no equivalent content reward for permanently refusing her, so hiring is the safer choice for a first or completion-focused campaign.

What final refusal locks out

The final refusal removes access to Cly and two associated missions: Best Served Cold and Without Honor or Humanity. Independent walkthroughs also connect those missions to The Mandalorian and Word of Honor achievements, making the refusal a meaningful content lockout rather than a cosmetic dialogue variation.

The first refusal is not final

If you initially decline, Neesh presents a chance to reconsider. The irreversible point is the explicit final response, Really Don't Hire Cly. Read that confirmation literally before selecting it.

Keeping Cly later

Recruitment is the first gate, not permission to ignore every later request. One reviewed walkthrough warns that refusing Cly's later requests can also cause her to leave. Treat her time-sensitive conversations and missions as commitments worth reviewing before the next deployment.

Completion verdict

Hire Cly for roster depth, story coverage, and achievement access. Refuse only when you deliberately want that role-play outcome and accept that the missed content may require another campaign.
