Grunt Work

Grunt Work overview

Grunt Work is a Starfield United Colonies quest. Like all other Starfield missions, you can find the full details of Grunt Work in your mission log, and you can easily find your next objective location by following the quest marker, or by entering the scanner mode and following Starfield’s breadcrumb trail.

Grunt Work is preceded by Supra Et Ultra, and followed by no confirmed quest.

Now that you’re a member of the UC Vanguard, one small thing remains: a probationary mission. Tuala wants you to head to Tau Ceti II and resolve a comms issue that the local settlers are facing.

Grunt Work objectives

Most Starfield missions consist of several objectives that you must complete to advance the quest. As you complete each objective, your journal will be updated with the next objective.

Specific objectives and checkpoints have not yet been confirmed for this Starfield mission.

Grunt Work reward

Completing Grunt Work provides the player with 250 experience.

Some quests also provide additional rewards:

Grunt Work mission console commands

If you just want to start the Grunt Work mission, all you need to do is enter the following Starfield console command to begin:

startquest 002B1808

Be warned that attempting to start a quest that requires specific triggers or hidden markers can result in game instability, so it is recommended you save your game before trying any commands. If however you are encountering a Starfield bug that prevents the mission from advancing, you might want to try the following:

resetquest 002B1808

The above command will completely reset a quest (make sure you save your game beforehand in case it causes a crash to desktop). It also has the potential to prevent that quest from ever completing, meaning you’ll need to use the completequest 002B1808 command to progress.
