  Dirac gauginos are a well-motivated extension of the MSSM, leading to
interesting phenomenological consequences. At the LHC, gluino-pair production
is enhanced while squark production is suppressed as compared to the MSSM, and
the decay signatures are altered by a more complex chargino and neutralino
spectrum. We investigate how this impacts current gluino and squark mass limits
from Run~2 of the LHC. Concretely, we compare different assumptions about the
electroweak-ino spectrum through four benchmark models paying particular
attention to the effect of the trilinear $\lambda_S$ coupling, which induces a
mass splitting between the mostly bino/U(1) adjoint states. Among other
results, we show that for large $\lambda_S$ the additional $\tilde\chi^0_2\to
f\bar f \tilde\chi^0_1$ decays somewhat weaken the limits on gluinos (squarks)
in the case of heavy squarks (gluinos). Moreover, we compare the limits in the
gluino vs. squark mass plane to those obtained in equivalent MSSM scenarios.
