I mean really. It went from finding hidden non-existant helmets to finding hidden achievements.


Fixed some spelling and punctuation,

*sigh*

The helmet is NOT nonexistant. There are two undeniable pictures of it. Like I said before, I'm fairly sure that showing it in the picture for Defiant on XBL marketplace would be classed as false advertising, and hence illegal, if it didn't exist. I seriously doubt there's any "hidden achievements" though, guys. No other game has done that, and there's no evidence to support it.

Punch and grenade... Perhaps we aren't allowed to shoot them...

If difficulty really matters, maybe we should try some runs on EASY? It would have been ironic if thats all we had to do...

Also when watching bob vids on youtube, I notice that their spawn locations sometimes depend on player location and what direction you are facing. (thats right!)
So it might be that we need more players on exodus to see the alleged courtyard Bob.

Idea!

Maybe you need to hijack and/or knock the BOBs out of their banshees on Exodus and NA. Then, kill them when they are out of their banshees to get the medals for them.


Quoted myself because no else would.

I know trying to hijack them would be pretty much impossible since they full boost the whole time.

But, perhaps EMPing them could knock them out?

I see this as a possibility. What do you guys think?

okay okay, let me rephrase that part.

It went from finding non-existant helmet in our game, as in the general public, to finding hidden achievements.


I'll say it again for as long as people think it's available to us.

It is NOT in our game, system, xbox or anywhere else than the Bungie/343i servers.
If it was in anyway in what we have, it would of required some mesh files.
If those files did exist in any way on our disk, it would of been found and exposed a long time ago.



Now back to my lolz.

Someone posted a while ago that the banshees have no hijack option, so that is out the window.

Ok, so you cant hijack. But what about EMPing them? If they fall down adn flip over; they'll be knocked out of their banshees.

Then, if you kill them after that, it may give you the medal for it.

Thats even assuming theres a pilot in it to begin with.

I also heard someone say there is no body when they are killed, so I guess not. Why do people even think these are Bobs?

  • 04.20.2011 2:23 PM PDT

The Pure Boss.

To the OP: Why don't you hijack the banshee, and then kill the bobs?

And I noticed that bobs have multiple armor abilities. I've never killed one on Legendary though.

They cannot be hijacked someone said. Which armor abilities do they have?

There was a daily challenge awhile ago where you had to kill a bob on the level Exodus and the bob itself was a/in a banshee

Your welcome i guess.
I got nothing against the bob hunt.

Just annoying to see people go out of their way for something that is'nt there.


Enjoy the bob hunt, but the rewards will only be a medal on your b.net report card. Nothing else.

We know the one on New Alexandria is a BOB, because it was described as a "gold Ranger-class Elite" in a challenge. And we suspect the one on Exodus is a BOB because it behaves in the same way.

  • 04.20.2011 2:27 PM PDT

Seriously Oak, Ive been doing this -blam!- for 16 years, gimmie my Friggen starter Pokemon and dont call me till im the champion! ¬_¬

So the Banshee BOB's are Pilotless?

This contributes to the Not-Confined-to-species idea i suppose, but i get why you wouldnt get the medal. The medal specifies "Ranger-Class-Elites" so Essentially, the Medal is related to the model, rather than the Property of "BOB" applied to it

This does, however, mean our search has been broadnd, Since if the property can be assigned to veichles, it could be assigned to grunts, brutes, maybe even Moa's

Oooo if theres some sort of Bob Guta, thatd rock :P

  • 04.20.2011 2:29 PM PDT

I usually don't like to contribute to the pool of wild speculation, but what if the NA BOB is a wannabe like the ONI Sword Base one? (Doesn't appear in Gold Ranger gear but still gives the medal?) This can't be the case with the Exodus BOB, because there are no elites on the level.

  • 04.20.2011 2:32 PM PDT

Im' a ninja

maybe to kill the bobs on exudos and new alexandria you need to highjack them ??

  • 04.20.2011 2:37 PM PDT

How do you know there's no BOB on Exodus, just because there's no Elites in the level? Has a BOB ever been constrained by in-game reality? No. They disappear into thin air, for god's sake.

True, but chances are Bungie planned it to be an all brute level to remind us all of the fun of Halo 3, so they wouldnt of stuck the elite base model into the map

It could still be there, maybe as a Brute :P

You mean Exodus, there are plenty of Elites in NA, and we only know that by:

A: rigorous testing
B: I think it might be the case that the elite files are simply not on the level because there are no other elites (not sure about that though).

Yeah, fair enough, but the BOB could be there in other forms. To say there's no BOB is just stupid, as the pattern clearly indicates at least one BOB per level.

There is, it's just in a banshee, if there is a ground BOB, remains to be seen.
