I jacked one my first playthrough by jetpacking ontop the mountain looking rock then jetpacked to banshee mid-air. Completed the level with it and nothing special noticed.

This is a thread for the sole purpose of discovering the secrets behind the bobs, buttons, and data pads. We are currently looking for Bobs. All the information here is related to the secrets in the game that once accessed don't preform any action at all. Such as collecting Data pads, they do not give any type of reward currently. The Bobs are a special Golden Ranger Elite that are possibly the most cowardly elite to disappear before death. Killing one will earn you a medal and the possibility of a reward.

WARNING: The following thread discusses the locations and possibilities of the secrets in the campaign and spoilers can be mentioned when describing a location. So go play the campaign before coming here.

FOR THE SAKE OF BUNGIE SECRETS, PLEASE HELP KEEP THIS THREAD ALIVE. ^_^

FINAL OP UPDATE:
WE HAVE A NEW HOME! Reach Secrets Join the new group if you are a great member of this thread and wish to continue hunting for everything Bungie has hidden!

Bob locations discovered by us:

Invisible Elite at the begining of the Winter Contigency level is not a Bob. That elite is related only to the data pads and killing it doesn't count as a bob. Please stop posting about because at this point, its existance is very clear. The Invisible Elite from this point will be Bill because it has a relation only to the Data Pads and not to the Bobs.

Winter Contingency: A bob was discovered in the house with the data pad on the ground. this is when heat signatures are detected and an elite with a concussion rifle comes out. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=745712 &player=Apollo312 - Thx Apollo312

Winter Contingency: In the first major abandon settlement lies a bob. Could possibly be the same one as before? http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=748451 &player=thedryness - Thx thedryness

Winter Contingency: In the Second major abandon settelement is this bob. 3 bobs in one mission? http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=748584 &player=thedryness - Thx thedryness

ONI Sword Base: The ONI Sword Base bob is more like a wannabe because it doesn't sport the correct armor instead wearing White Officer armor but still gives the medal. This Bob has been confirmed to wear different suits of armor but is always white. He tends to appear after you return or he will be inside the building. Current pictures of Bob wannabe. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=750780

Tip of the Spear: By the first Anti-Air Artillery on the path going upward by the edge. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=732771 &player=Spartanic Ghost - Discovered by Spartanic Ghost

Tip of the Spear: Between the rocks on the way to Spire. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=743128 &player=Apollo312 That is 2 bobs on Tip of the Spear now! - Thx to Apollo312

ONI Sword Base: At Least 2 Bobs. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=40838 10&player=Sspartan 122 Look at his enemies list near the bottom. There are atleast 2 bobs on that mission. - Najar

Nightfall: This bob is hanging out by the powerhouse. Someone kill him! http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=748990 &player=Spjuv3rn - Thx Spjuv3rn

Long Night of Solace: On Legendary, a Bob was discovered piloting the ship in the control room. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=744403 &player=Pistolwhip00 -Thx to Pistolwhip00

The Package was discovered to have a bob in the courtyard near where ONI Sword Base began. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=749458 &player=Shortest%20Hill - Thx Shortest Hill

The Package: Another one found underground in the Glacier map part. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=101718 5&player=Dark Sajon Discovered by Dark Sajon

Pillar of Autumn: This Bob is right where it was said to be. In teh Garage the tank spawns in on the invasion map Boneyard. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=141755 0&player=Spartanic%20Ghost - Confirmed by Spartanic Ghost

Lone Wolf: First discovered and REPORTED by Caboose, is an agressive Bob. Possibly the first. http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/filedetails.aspx?fid=923622 &player=Pvt+J+Cab00se - Pvt J CabOOse

Bob Location Information: It appears there is only 1 bob per level and depending on the dificulty, they will spawn in different locations. I will no longer post pictures of bobs in missions where we already discovered them and will only post new pics of previous missions if it is a new location. We have found Bobs in almost every mission and we are just missing a few more.

So, I guess I'll break down what we have.



Mission 2: Bob in the building with a Plasma repeater

Mission 3: Fake Bob Near/In Sword Base (return trip) with Duel Plasma Rifles

Mission 4: Bob on top of powerhouse with a Plasma rifle

Mission 5 [A]: Bob on the Hill with a Concussion rifle
[B]: Bob amongst the rocks with a Fuel Rod Gun

Mission 6: Bob at the controls of the Bridge

Mission 7: ???

Mission 8: ???

Mission 9: Bob in front of a door, across from Sword Base, to the left when leaving the Garage

Mission 10: After Rally point Alpha, Bob is in the garage inside the right entrance of the base with Data Pad #9 inside

Lone Wolf: ???


So, looks like we have found ourselves 7 TRUE BOBs and 1 Wannabe/Poser BOB


To report a bob, post a screenshot showing its location and what mission it was.

Switches:
Tribute Room Switch
Rave Songs
Mystery Switch
ONI Sword Base Switch: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=912047 &player=b71nKy - Reported by Whatahead
ONI Sword Base Switch #2: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=911997 &player=b71nKy - Reported by Whatahead
ONI Sword Base: The uses for the 2 switches are that when pressed at the same time by two players will be teleported to the entrance and given to Gauss Hogs. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=121088 4&player=HB Prophet666

Bob Kill Squad: We are assembling a Bob kill squad to kill all the bobs once they are all discovered. 4 people will team up on Legendary to play the entire campaign. Obtaining the data pads is also required in case the two side missions work together.
1) Spartanic Ghost
2) Pistolwhip00
3) Dranlo
4) Shortest Hill
VOULNTEERS FILLED

Legendary Ending: Confirmed in the Legendary Edition Campaign Commentary part of the Legendary Ending. Confirmed by Bungie is that an Eagle will land on your helmet at the end. There is no other information on what the rest of the Legendary Ending is.


http://www.haloreachplanet.com/2010/09/24/video-secret-switch es-on-the-package-unlock-4-banshees/ thought you may find this interesting there is a theory that there are possibly more switches to hit that need the banshee to get to it, but nobody has found anything as of yet.

Has anyone tried jacking a banshee at the bravo checkpoint in The Package? Someone on Noble team on that level said something along the lines of "If only we could jack ourselves a banshee."


Yes and not only that but me and a friend got to that part with no boundries and flew and jetpacked all around the area, nothing there but a small random cave taht doesnt lead anywhere and some rocks and building parts you can walk through and a few kill barriers lol.

quick question i dont remember but are there dates on each datapad? possibly may have to find them in order starting with the earliest date.

Also has anyone tried completeing campaign after the second switch was found on the package to do the marathon vidmaster reference?

Ive played back datapads 1-9 in reverse and they all say the same thing. its along the lines of " protocols reinstated, purge initiated, (b)reach identified, role confirmed, lineage confirmed, corruption contained, welcome sire" its not exactly in that order but its all the same in each pad. It says Scion, not sire. Scion means, Heir, or Descendant.

Pretty sure ?? is the guns on the corvette ship during the space mission if you get killed by those.

The no weapon one could be UNSC ships guns maybe? or AA guns or something.


Confirmed. Nice catch chupa888 i played that level without dying until that part and made sure the corvettes gun killed me and sure enough it is a ??. the only thing is is this the only way to get the ??. is there other instances of ?? happening?

updating Reach Secrets Group forums with numbers thread, come post if you have found anything not mentioned in the thread already :) or have some insight

  • 09.29.2010 6:05 PM PDT

I dont know if anyone has said this but I was recently playing on Winter Contingency with my brother and we found an agressive bob. He came out of one of the buildings that you drive to before you come to the stream. He was firing a plasma repeater. I took a screen shot just seeing if it uploads.

  • 09.29.2010 6:39 PM PDT

Ok guys now listen up this is weird. Me and friend are on the package mission right, we have done the easter egg with the banshees. I dont know if anyone has noticed this but, if you activate the banshees, you cannot complete the mission. We have been trying to take out the 2 giant guns for half an hour but its not possible. They just dont blow up.

To continue the mission, you must destroy both guns so you recieve a loading zone. but because we cannot take the guns out, the loading zone will not trigger.

So if there is any secrets to do with the banshee then its gonna be right here. Its not possible to get to sword base with the banshees.

Anyone have a clue why this is?

Just a thought, has anyone tried killing Bobs using grenades? I'm having a deep thought session trying to think of anything we haven't tried. I've read every post so I heard people mention the grenade part of the original vidmaster but don't remember it being implemented. Has anyone tried to "punch" the Data Pads? Maybe Bungie put a twist in.

  • 09.29.2010 8:41 PM PDT

I have punched the data pads and the switches on New Alexandria. I did not notice anything different.

  • 09.29.2010 8:46 PM PDT

I have found another Bob!
I'll link his kill >:D

  • 09.30.2010 12:06 AM PDT

OK, so I was on the 2nd(1st w/e) mission for the daily challenge yesterday.

so 2nd level on heroic with TILT on.

I wanted to get the mission done quickly cause I had to go within 30 minutes ^^.

The Game     level

Soo what I did was run past by EVERYTHING D:
Got into the car and BLAMMING the BLAM! away.
So I was driving past all the mission point, but just before place where the marines are which you need to save I got shotted by an orange elite O.<
This is after a part where 2 jackels are located.
I got a checkpoint and saw an orange elite.
I got out, he shot me, I shot back, he dissappeared.
I reloaded my checkpoint and killed him anyways ^^

I'll post screenshot soon.
Shouldn't be too hard from 17 minutes of video :P

did you read the moderators thread you are not allowed to post spoilers

  • 09.30.2010 7:08 AM PDT

My money is less on a hidden ending, more on this all being part of a future vidmaster achievement. I'd love to see something a little more than that though.

  • 09.30.2010 7:36 AM PDT

Got a bob for ya,
I don't think this one's been found yet so I'll post it here:
excuse the fact I'm too much of an idiot to link directly...

Long night of solace/Normal difficulty
Drop through this hole in the wall when you enter the base:

Hang around out there and you'll see this bob come in via drop pod:

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=408120 0&player=Jackzaa

He disappeared literally 1 second after he got outta the pod though haha.

  • 09.30.2010 8:45 AM PDT

Responding to someone earlier in the thread, I did jack a Banshee on the Package, and mostly used it to kill the covenant. It didn't occur to me to expore the map, but I probably will now since I just got back to that mission, on legendary this time. Maybe there's something there besides the switch.

Check out my youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/ultratog1028

there is a third bob that appears in Winter Contigency. Perhaps they simply appera in random predetermined locations. http://www.haloreachplanet.com/golden-ranger-elite-locations/ winter-contingency-golden-ranger-elite/

  • 09.30.2010 12:10 PM PDT

I always come across a bob in winter contegency but its weapons are different, its always while driving and it either tries to run or it has a concussion rifle and fires until you get off the truck, then it runs.

did you read the moderators thread you are not allowed to post spoilers

yes. Did you?

  • 09.30.2010 3:23 PM PDT

on the package after activating the banshee switch and progressing to the defensive part of the game, there are two things I noticed. I was able to have the "Return to the Battlefield" come back up near a Lab door that is overlooking the small chasm where you start, which shouldn't happen due to those messages being turned off with the banshee spawning. As well as finding a weird spot in some rocks that launches you really high. Going to try and play around
