Hello there. I'm not sure if this is right but I believe my friend and I have found a BOB banshee on the level Winter Contingency. It had the characteristics of a BOB banshee, it was always boosting.

I hope this link works. If not, I apologize in advance because I'm rather new to posting links. If you're unable to open it check my File Share. I have the full level for download as well.

So BOBS could be related to halo 3 skulls in the same way that we need to do something with them, if BOBs do mean anything, that would be one of the biggest (if not the biggest) secret in halo reach... so was the IWHBYD skull, so maybe we need to kill a bob in the missions 4 6 5 4 5 3 4 so we need to kill them in these missions

in this order, just a thought, cause you know, we've been searching for those 2 BOBS in Exodus and NA so maybe we should try out some other theories... :)
I'll go see if it works later today

We have no more proof they are connected to the Halo 3 skulls than we do that they are connected to crop circles.

Oh yeah I found no death barriers on NA. You can go through walls and not die and everything but to get back up you must find a building with a slope to get past another invisible barrier above you. Then get back to the original spot where you cannot die and fly out. Other wise you'll die.

Apart from what's written in OP, but yeah, i'm searching for it, my hopes aren't high, but i do think we need to look for other theories just in case this one is busted and isn't the good one.

i found a really cool easter egg guys, if u dont know about it already. in the mission, longest night of solace, after u activate the refueling route to the super carrier, crouch and hold x next to the pelican's cockpit on its right side. if u do it correctly u will appear inside the pelicans front turret. there is unlimited ammo, but vision is limited. enjoy!

I've finished with every BOB dead on solo legendary.

Better find more theorys.


Just curious...

How did you kill the BOB on Legendary, solo on Lone Wolf, and end up with 0 Score but +34 k/d? Not to mention 11 assassinations. In only 6 minutes.

I smell something fishy here friend... Stats don't lie.

I sent you a PM. Anyway, for these guys wondering. It takes 6 minutes for the BOB to spawn on Legendary. He usually comes when the heros come. He also uses a sword, and as for the points... Um to be honest I have no idea why it's 0 points. But if you look I did get points but it didn't add up there for some reason. I think it's because when I killed him I ended the game instead of dyeing. The assassinations are because my little trick of eliminating elites in my way. My weapon with most kills is the DMR. Of course by keeping them very far away from me. Get close and get assassinated. I will not include any strategy's for they were created by me. Good luck on everyone's and your BOB adventure!

There is nothing fishy. Just curiosity. If anyone has more questions regarding anything. Please feel free to ask via PM on Bungie.net

Happy Hunting!

Aren't you curious to the fact Bungie has leaked NO data regarding anything special that can be unlocked this long after release? Even to the point where they are leaving the game to focus on their new project?

Give it a rest guys...

You know how Bungie is. If there isn't I honestly wouldn't care.

Driven by success.
Follow me if you wish:@JamilDeanTriaa

I still think that Halo: CE Anniversary has something to do with this.

I like this idea.

Also, "IGN does not fake screenshots for the "pubic""

Just want to point that out :D

This still makes me laugh because it is on the first page.

OT.

DId we give up on the new door found on NA?

  • 07.04.2011 8:09 AM PDT

At this point, all information about bobs and what they do and what they are for is has been made up by the community. So you may or may not have to kill them on Legendary, they may or may not do anything at all. Nobody knows.

I got it!! you could skyjack the banshee bobs to get the medal!

and I think you need 77 medals to unlock the helmet. And if the skyjack doesnt work then there are probably Brute bobs.

PS after 5 months of "searching" how can you OP only have 20 BoB's?

First of all, read the other pages, you can't hijack bobshees lol...
Second of all, if he's killed a bob in each mission (no NA or exodus) it's kinda normal that he only has 20


no s%*&
