Subject: Regarding BOBS. (Read Whole Post)

Don't be silly. You're not wrong because nobody is agreeing with you, you're wrong because your points are weak and poorly supported. The fact that people disagree with you is a symptom of being wrong, not the cause or the proof of it. Canary in the coal mine, so to speak.

I've seen a BOB on Exodus exactly once, but I've been unable to replicate whatever made him spawn. At the point when the Phantoms drop off Brutes while you wait for the elevator, I went out on the balcony to wait for the closer troops to drop...and spotted a BOB running merrily across the way on the other side of the chasm towards the suicide grunt area. I failed to kill him (no long range weapon), but he was there.

As I've said, I haven't spotted him since then, so either he's hard to coax out or I'm insane >.>


Insanity or not, I'm sure this discovery will not go unappreciated. :3 Good work, Spartan.

this, this is correct. BOB's are the secret to what we don't know about Reach.

  • 04.18.2011 6:31 PM PDT

wow this is a great thread. (trying to keep alive...)

  • 04.18.2011 6:34 PM PDT

Very cool thread. Whether anything unlocks is anyones guess. I love finding and wiping out BoBs tho, killed 70 so far. Haven't found Exodus or New Alexandria ones. Thanks for the tip on Exodus being in banshees didn't know that. If I manage to stumble across one on the ground on either level I'll certainly pass it on.

bumpity bump. hope the BOB helmet thing is true, cuz i love the look of it on the Defiant vid/pics

  • 04.18.2011 6:39 PM PDT

Were the BOB chest and helmet confirmed? been wondering since the first post

  • 04.18.2011 6:47 PM PDT

Yeah, if you are telling the truth then that would be a breakthrough find, because we would only need to find one more BOB that actually gives a medal on New Alexandria. Time to go looking. :)

Bungie has been quiet about the helmet and the chest piece, but the pictures of the helmet+ the chest piece have been on the Xbox Dashboard, in IGN pictures, and BS Angel from the Waypoint forums commented and said we have to solve the mystery for ourselves.

I like your theory. It's possible the two Banshee BOBs aren't the correct BOBs to kill in that level.


Duardo said this idea was smart.


You are officially epic.

And OP, there is another BoB somewhere on TotS, as sometimes neither the FRG nor the Cliff ones appear, which means we have another one SOMEWHERE. Gonna go look around Exodus.

I found nothing by the Courtyard, so I'll try that tomorrow.

No.

And to OP, you say "1. BOBS work like Halo: 3 skulls, since the campaign had no skull collectables."

Shure they are fun dinos to hunt down, but on what ground/proof do you have to back it up other than a medal on b.net?
They dont unlock anything, there is no legendary ending "not shure why people are so in denial about no special ending".


Anyways, go on your little hunt, kill them all, look at your medals on b.net.
That's all they are going to do.

  • 04.18.2011 7:02 PM PDT

Okay Kira... (I'm not arguing with people who know nothing, sorry, because I can all ready tell your logic fails. You post as if you are mad at me because I enjoy hunting BOBS and have a solid theory, I'm guessing some kind of personal problem?)

Anyways guys thanks for the bumps. :)

Halo 3 skulls
-Unlocked acheivements
-Unlocked Hayabusa
-unlocked Recon

Halo Reach BOBs
-Medal on B.net stats.




But by all means, Reach BOBs act like a skull, they unlock acheivements as well as new armor.
My logic fails terribly.



I am not mad at you.
I am somewhat irritated at the level of ignorance/denial of the Reach community. This makes no execption from it.
If you enjoy hunting BOBs than good for you, i wont stop you form doing stuff you like.
But as for your "solid theory", i stoped reading after your "they act like halo 3 skulls" when infact, they are nothing alike other than cool little nick-nacks to hunt after.

But yes my logic fails.
Anything to backup that they act like H3 skulls or is it jsut a random theory as it probably is.

I think Kira sort of has a point; in that regard, there's less evidence that BOBs could indeed act as the spritual successor to the H3 Skulls... :0

However, those points could also be used to argue the contrary. The OPoster mentioned how hackers hacked the IWHBYD skull in H3, so it might very well be the case that Bungie is purposely being more subtle and discreet about the true purpose of the BOBs, whether it be to make the BOB armor harder to unlock (assuming the theory is correct) or whatever other reason. However, there IS evidence to suggest (not confirm, but suggest) that this theory does have some ground to it. Regardless, the BOB Elites are pretty cool and it's fun to hunt them down anyway, so what harm can come of it, eh?

I don't have a ton of faith in this theory, but I think it'd be really cool if it did turn out to be true, and for that reason I'd like to see all the BOBs sought out and killed. The other side of the coin is that you're gonna be pretty pissed if you turn out to be wrong, Kira. LOL

I think it would make sense for hidden switches to play a part in finding some BOBs, there is so many places switches can be hidden on New Alexandria, ( the night club and pelican/phantom easter egg swithes for example) that maybe some switches actually spawn BOBs in their elite form to be able to achieve the medals on Exodous and New Alexandria

-BOB armor is not on the disk, it has been said many many times before. Hunting them to hopes to unlock it are futile as the armor is not there. Its like trying to find a pink lady dress for Kat.....

-With somewhat 7months after release sa time pass, Reach ahs been datamined numerous times before. Its contents, fully explored.
If the armor was there, there would be mesh files somewhere on the disk, wich are'nt.


But again, im the one with the failed logic right?

That's an interesting theory. :O I didn't think the switches were necessary at all before, but it makes sense that the switches on NA might spawn Elite-form BOBs somewhere on the level. It's a possibility, at least.

...LOL. Buzzkill. Well, how do YOU think the so-called BOB armor would be obtained, then? You know as well as I do that it's not shipped with any of the currently existing map packs, as Bungie has said.

Who said we where ever going to get it to begin with?
And don't reply "but we see it in a picture", that picture only shows it exists, somewhere, but not that we are getting it.

  • 04.18.2011 8:21 PM PDT

"When Embarking the journey of revenge you should dig 2 graves" -Confucious. Also I like firefight not for the credits but for fun. Also like Campaign but I don't play it that much. Favorite Weapon: Battle Rifle and Light Rifle.

There is 1 BOB at New Alexandria: it is at a low altitude somewhere near Club Errera hope that helps. Also there is a BOB in exodus it is at the start where the suicidal grunts there is a BOB but no reports of killing them.

Saved thread, hopefully non-banshee BOBS can be found in NA and Exodus

Oh and just a thought: Maybe some BOBs can be found in a ghost/revenant/wraith besides being in a banshee

If Reach has been stripped down, how come modders haven't come here and told everybody the locations of all of Reach's undiscovered Easter Eggs?

  • 04.18.2011 8:38 PM PDT

The armor itself could be similar to recon in that it unlocks from bungie.net after completing something specific I stick to the vidmaster of old I will hunt every single BOB I will hit every switch (I believe the data pads to be the switches)I will use grenades when ever I can and I will do it all on legendary.

Its 1 thing knowing where the files are located...
its an other to know where its located in the game...

assuming the egg itself has a file.

Could be one of the reasons, might not be the right one either.
Ask about it to a moder if you wanna be sure.


And before you come around "but if you aren't sure, how can you be for the BOB helmet".
If it was on the disk, with all the heated threads about it, somebody would of posted it by now.

  • 04.18.2011 8:54 PM PDT

i think this is an epic quest to find all the bobs, but i don't really think there will be any reward after you find and kill them all.
