Welcome to our walkthrough for the Grunt Work mission in Starfield! Grunt Work is one of the faction missions for the United Colonies (UC) you can pick up at New Atlantis. This mission will automatically begin after completing the Supra Et Ultra faction mission.
**PLEASE NOTE: Some of the planets referenced in our guides and walkthroughs won’t match up with yours due to how Starfield was created. In these situations, what you do and the places you visit on those planets should be the same.**
Grunt Work Steps
Speak to Crew Chief Herath at the New Atlantis Spaceport
Make your way over to the launch pad at the Spaceport and speak with Herath near a ship.
Make Contact with the Settlers on Tau Ceti II
Travel to Tau Ceti II in the Tau Ceti Cystem then land at the Tau Gourmet Production Center. After exiting your ship, make for the buildings east of the production center to find that they’ve been trashed. Keep an eye out for The New Atlantian 01 magazine in a room on the lower level!
Exit these buildings then approach the landing pad with a destroyed ship.
Speak to the Woman
A woman will speak with you, telling you that she unlocked the doors. Make your way into the building with TAU on top and speak with Hadrian on the second floor.
Restore the Security System Connection
After learning what creature brought chaos down on this place, we decide to take it out! To do this, we’ll need some help from the turrets situated strategically around the plant. To restore the security system connection, make your way to the building marked “Security” and interact with the large yellow machine on the first floor.
Once on the “Tau Gourmet: Remote Security Connection” computer, select “Security System Connection Status” then “Reset Security Connection”.
Tune the Livestock Tracker to 183.5
Head into the adjacent room and interact with the Tau Gourmet: Livestock terminal. Select “System Status: Off” then “Turn ON Tracking System”. Next, select “Tracker Frequency Tuner” and input “183.5: Targets (1)”.
Kill the Terrormorph
Now is the time to bring this thing down!! To make your job easier, restore power to the 3 “Kill Lanes” by interacting with the circuit breakers on the roofs while being mindful of the distance between you and this creature (as shown in the upper right corner of your screen). You can easily kill it by letting the turrets do all the work for you! Once it’s down, loot the Terrormorph Cell Sample.
Return to Hadrian
Make your way back to Hadrian. Speak with her then follow her to a microscope. After learning more about the situation, she’ll give you credits!
Return to Commander Tuala
Upon speaking with Commander Tuala, the Grunt Work mission will complete! Besides receiving EXP and credits, you’ll also receive a Calibrated UC Vanguard Pilot Skip Pack, Calibrated UC Vanguard Spacesuit and UC Vanguard Space Helmet.
