Linked-sphere Type: Drill-equipped

Linked-sphere Type: Saw-equipped

Linked-sphere Type: Gun-equipped
For the Enhanced Linked-sphere Type: Drill-equipped, they do spawn on the rock near the cliffs between the entrance of the main desert area and the entrance to the Desert: Housing Complex, but they only appeared in 14-01 for me, not 12-01 nor 17-01.

For some reason, in route b not only do they appear in the giant crater, but they're also flying above buildings near the crater. Where the dinosaur-like machines later appear.

Enhanced linked sphere (thorn) gave me tanning agent and dye.
From previous experiences with them, they seem to drop Auto-Heal mods
Tip: "Linked-sphere Type: Gun-equipped" has a BLIND SPOT under his gun. It cannot shot under himself, just in a cone forward.
Super useful to know during the second wave of A-Rank trial in Gambler's Colosseum. In that wave, you have to fight a bunch of "Medium Biped: Enhanced with Electromagnetic Shield-equipped", in sparse formation, plus a very annoying "Linked-sphere Type: Gun-equipped". Without the last one, it should be a walk in the park: just use "P Shield" Program, attack for 4 seconds, then evade, possibly in bullet time using the "Overclock chip", change pod and use the same program again, rinse and repeat. But that pesky "Linked-sphere Type" shoots at you constantly, and is difficult to continuously look at his bullets (the real threat of this wave, since the "P Shield" won't obviously protect you) and at the same time fight the Medium Bipeds. What to do? Simple: fight against the Medium Bipeds UNDER the Linked-sphere Type! It's way easier to control them using the strategy previously exposed, without worrying too much about the bullets. After you finished them, take a breath, and switch your pod programs to "M Shield", then proceed to finish the Linked-sphere Type!
