-Dead Orbit..

i was thinking about that. when you check all data pads while reading you hear a wierd wshshsh sound if i can record it and play it backwards it can be a message. maybe to the campaign o a secret something.

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!



Link Dump:
Data Pad Locations
Golden Ranger Elite Intro
Bob
Current Bobs
Buttons?
Data Pad Thread

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.


I've seen the B.O.B in Lone Wolf, SB, NF, POA, WC, NA

My post was utter garbage. I was reporting finding a BOB that was not mentioned because I mixed up the mission names.

It was reported already.

I'll shut my mouth now.

is this a coincidence or does this have to do with the BoBs? i have killed 129 BoBs to date and when i went to go change my nameplate to the Marathon Durandal Nameplate (i thought it looked cool) after i had selected it, the dialect underneath it said as follows: "You are really good at killing things. I'm impressed." has anyone else seen this or experienced this?

A bob spawns in lone wolf if you survive for a long time...(also i read somewhere that if you beat the campaign legendary solo - on lone wolf if you survive a long time a warthog will spawn somewhere get in, and you're objective becomes escape! then you go along a course getting attacked by wraiths and revenants ((if you die here you get a slightly different death)) at the end you'll reach a bunker with weapons but you'll eventually run out of ammo and die.) PS hope this is true haven't tried it.

That sound cool, but I think its not true. Too hard to get and not everyone will make it, so I don´t think Bungie did something like that.

Delirious! Warthog with bunker? OMG this is false!!!
If you look at map you understand that there no bunker!
And in Lone Wolf no revinant!

This isnt on reach but on the Halo: Reach E3 2009 Teaser Trailer you can see a spartan amoung the debris above reach.

  • 03.08.2011 8:32 AM PDT

Wow dude i was thinking about this , every time i played a datapad i was hearing some noise in the back (i have found all the data pads by the way and i heard noise every time i played them), maybe if you record this "voice" of every data pads and put it in order it might says something ? (maybe it's revrse , maybe faster , maybe slow downed , dunno i'll see when i put them together ) .

Somebody already did it guys. Also the switch on The building right next to where you go up and shut down the jammer (Reflection map in MP) is not a secret switch. It's just for another jammer that sometimes appears on that rooftop.

  • 03.09.2011 6:07 AM PDT

I'm pretty sure this thread is 75 pages of people repeating each other or asking, "Can we have a summary of what everyone found out?" (which is still nothing). I'll be a little disappointed if there's nothing that remains hidden in the game.

I'd like to remind everyone that there is a group now for this thread. I have long abandon this thread but I am working on something secret for the group. The group is called Reach Secrets.

It's true. Watch Tyrant's Mythic Difficulty guide for Lone Wolf to see it. The BOB wields and Energy Sword, too.

Bob is the coolest name ever. Anyway bungie are very cruel people. so they would probably

  • 03.15.2011 3:52 PM PDT

Since this is an official secrets thread..has there been any information on any easter eggs in the defiant map pack?
I looked around in forge but didn't find anything. Also looked around the forums and didn't see much.

I mean the warthogh part is not true, but the BOB part is, I killed him many times.

The question is not what, but who?

  • 03.21.2011 7:22 PM PDT

I´ve notice one thing. When you die in campaign and press select, the bottom to see more info about the weapon and AA you are using, you can see the picture of armor lock. Maybe this means that you need to use armor lock or something, I don´t know, but who knows?

P.S: Haters gonna hate.
