Quads How to find them
I'm having a hard time getting the quads to appear.
I can't get the corrupt bots to get mad at me to call the quads out....I've been playing all day running around on a corrupt planet and only found 4....

I just kept running across them while out and about - look for the robot drilling things. This is such a pain as the drones keep fixing them while you're trying to take them out and the little ones don't count (of course).

Keep attacking the corrupted sentinels. More should spawn in. They can also be patrolling the mirror things (the drills with the big sail on them, sorry I forget what they're called exactly)

I managed it by getting the aggro to level 5, then hiding. You should get at least 4 quads by the time you have got level 5, if not just rinse repeat, i.e. kill a few of the big quads, hide and then re-aggro them. royal pain in the a55, but doable.

I got lucky with that milestone and when I went out hunting the very first thing I stumbled on was one of those dissonance resonators with 3 of them already there guarding him.

But for the last one, yep, I fought the whole corrupt sentinel wave. More of them spawn as the waves progress.

You can fly with your ship slowly at low altitude and then watch the compass for the sails to appear. Then follow the symbol there and check if a quad is guarding it. Fight it and whatever else spawns that you can handle, wait out the search counter and hop back into your ship. Repeat as required.

Excellent method. Same here.

i built a small base setup between what seems to be regular spots for those drilling sail things that usually has one at each of the 2 or three spots.. plus it's the place to catch the fish, and gather atlantean...
i don't know how to link my base tho... it's just named "Fish here" so no idea how to get it to show up on your teleport list.

but yeah, basically as Aurumworks said, look for those sails / drilling platforms then see if there is a quad near by.

1). Find and grab a gravitino ball on a Dissonant Planet to anger them (you can also shoot one of those pillars that has an inverted mirror, but gravitino balls are much easier to find).
2). Kill Sentinels until 3 wanted stars.
3). Quads start appearing at 3 wanted stars (note the small dog-sized ones won't count, only the big ones that lob the bombs at you count).

Keep killing the sentinels for more quads, they'll keep on coming.

Protip: If you can't handle 5 wanted stars on a Dissonant World, don't even bother attempting the last couple objectives yet. Get a better gun and at least 2, preferably 3 exosuit shield mods.

gravitino balls are the way to go... taking one will automatically push the sentinel alert level to 3 stars the quads come out at 4, kill it, run away to end the alert then grab another ball... rinse and repeat
GL
EDIT: the small spiders don't count... only the big ones

I wouldn't run away at 3... that would take forever. You need 8 of the stupid things.

Only 1 spawns at Wave 3.

However, Wave 5 will spawn 3+ of them and if you can't survive Wave 5, then you are going to be in serious trouble later. Get a weapon of your choice upgraded with 3 mods, and get 3 mods for your exosuit shield and you'll easily handle Wave 5 and whatever else the expedition throws at you.
