Starting Location: Technical NOGout

Check on Quinn

Head to the Meridian Outskirts and follow the waypoint into a laboratory.

Clear out Maliwan

Once inside the laboratory you will notice there are a half dozen Maliwan enemies sprawled out. Take them out to secure the area and continue.

Locate Quinn

Follow the waypoint to the closet in the corner of the lab and and interact with the action marker to Knock.

Follow Quinn

As soon as Quinn realizes it is safe he comes out and introduces himself and wants you to follow him. He won’t go very far, he just goes to the center of the room and interacts with the computer.

Drive NOG catcher

Head outside of the lab and there will be a vehicle waiting for you, it is the NOG catcher. Hop inside to continue the quest.

Capture NOGs: 0/3

Head out into the spillway and locate the first runaway NOG located here:

Once you get up to him he will be alone, in the NOG catcher use your missile button (  or  ) to catapult a orb at the NOG which will transport them away to Quinn. This is what a NOG looks like:

Capture NOGs: 1/3

After capturing the first NOG head farther down the spillway to the second NOG:

Once you see the NOG use your missile button again to capture this NOG

Capture NOGs: 2/3

After capturing the second NOG head to the final waypoint even farther down the spillway:

Use the same method to capture this final NOG, but be weary of the other vehicles driving around in this area, they will try to take you out.

Talk to Quinn

Head back to the laboratory and speak with Quinn who is standing by the computer.

Summon NOG

Head to the other side of the area over to the waypoint where there is a button for you to press. Press it using your action button to summon the NOG El Fuego.

Observe Quinn’s Upgrade

Simply wait and watch as El Fuego does his thing, rather unsuccessfully I might add.

Summon NOG

After El Fuego fails it’s time to try again, Give the button another push to be introduced to The Conductor.

Observe Quinn’s Upgrade

That’s right, you get to watch as The Conductor does his thing which while better than El Fuego’s attempt, is still a failure.

Summon NOG

After The Conductor fails we can give it one last shot. Hit that button one last time to see the final attempt, NOGodor Maximo

Observe Quinn’s Upgrade

NOGodor Maximo is a SUCCESS! Quinn is going to send the blueprints to Lorelei.

Defend Quinn

While sending the blueprints Quinn will get ambushed by Maliwan enemies. Defend him while he does his thing by doing what you do best, Shooting things in their face.

Receive reward

Head over to Quinn who is using his computer still and interact with his computer while he is typing to grab your reward, money and a rare grenade mod “Nog Potion #9”.
