Jobs
GRAVHOUNDS missions
COSMO posts jobs on the mining ship. Public sources name five kinds of work: resource extraction, alien-tech recovery, infrastructure, refinery defense, and escorting Coffee Cat. A numbered quota and a titled final mission are not published.
Named objectives in the official overview
| Label | On-screen objective | Evidence status |

Last mission
People searching “last mission” want the name of the finale. I do not have it. What exists is a set of job types, an extract timer described by Xbox Nation as 30 seconds, and a reviewer who nearly cleared the missions that shipped.
If a later patch names a finale, it belongs in this section with the patch date. Until then, treat “last” as “the end of the job you already accepted,” which is the extract, not a chapter title.
How a job ends
AltChar’s loop is land, set up around the Collector, gather, and extract. Death can drop what you are carrying. The dev log’s demo changes made objective health visible for the refinery and for Coffee Cat, and made her tougher with better pathing.
Rewards land as Reward Pods and resources. Pod picks are covered on mods. The planet you drop on is not named per job type. See planets for why that column is empty.

FAQ
What is the last mission in GRAVHOUNDS?
No source names a final mission. Xbox Nation says they played about 15 hours and nearly finished the available main missions. That is a progress note, not a title.
Who gives the jobs?
COSMO, the shipboard supervisor in the Xbox Wire story. You pick a job before you drop.
What is the quota?
The Steam page says you are still expected to hit quota. No numeric quota is printed in the sources used here, so the cell stays blank.
Who is Coffee Cat?
An ally from the hub. AltChar describes escorting her. The dev log says the mining laser can heal her and that her health bar was added for the demo, along with the refinery’s.
