  We reinterpret two recent LHC searches for events containing four top quarks
($t\bar{t}t\bar{t}$) in the context of supersymmetric models with Dirac
gauginos and color-octet scalars (sgluons). We explore whether sgluon
contributions to the four-top production cross section $\sigma(pp \to
t\bar{t}t\bar{t})$ can accommodate an excess of four-top events recently
reported by the ATLAS collaboration. We also study constraints on these models
from an ATLAS search for new phenomena with jets and missing transverse energy
($E_{\text{T}}^{\text{miss}}$) sensitive to signals with four top quarks. We
find that these two analyses provide complementary constraints, with the jets +
$E_{\text{T}}^{\text{miss}}$ search exceeding the four-top cross section
measurement in sensitivity for sgluons heavier than about 800 GeV. We
ultimately find that either a scalar or a pseudoscalar sgluon can currently fit
the ATLAS excess in a range of reasonable benchmark scenarios, though a
pseudoscalar in minimal Dirac gaugino models is ruled out. We finally offer
sensitivity projections for these analyses at the HL-LHC, mapping the $5\sigma$
discovery potential in sgluon parameter space and computing exclusion limits at
95% CL in scenarios where no excess is found.
