Subject: The "BOB" Helmet Theories Thread (Seek and Destroy the BOBs)

Okay guys it has been a week since I sent the letter to Urk. I still have no reply. What should we do?

Should I send it to someone else or should I try to reach him a different way?

I know the "need more ammo?" one is in the last mission where you punch a wall and an ammo crate pops out

I heard this was Sparta but I am obviously mistaken...

I've never once seen the enlarged jackal... or heard of it...

Now that I have 7,777 bob kills I can say that you do not get one thing.

  • 05.06.2011 8:12 PM PDT

i personally believe it was just for hype. did anyone else notice how microsoft made it the lead banner for the defiant map pack? and how much the picture is focuse on the helmet?

forgive me for being confuse but this website here:

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/BOB

has a load of screenshots of BOBs at the bottom, i always assumed the BOBs all looked like the ranger elites but with golden armour but according to that website they crop up in all different armours?


Thats only for ONI: Sword Base

Anyway, has anyone tried following the BOBshee on New Alexandria around? Maybe it lands? Something? Also, (somewhat irrelevant) I remember playing Exodus one time and noticing and idiot banshee, at the time I wasn't as into BOB hunting as of late, and it kinda just committed suicide... I figured it would follow our Falcon but now that I think about it there's no real way to follow it... Brute BOBs anyone?

/stumped.


It just spawns, loops through the map in an arc, then exists through the invisible wall.


Crap, and he's flying so low he's impossible to drop on a building. Even then there's no real pilot...

There's a video up on YouTube by OP showing 3 Brutes on Exodus behind a door that doesn't open until you actually encounter Brutes. They disappear after 7 seconds and have a short conversation in their native tongue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6yiWSn1oDg

Also, the random rooms with secret packages, and 117 in blood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBT3U3wb_rA&NR=1

EDIT: One other thing, OP's open hallway! Skip to the end of the video to watch. Require's sprint: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSBtgNVaXrg&feature=channe l_video_title


The sprinting down the hallway thing is interesting, but pointless because A: You die and B: The big concrete area it open onto is also kill field protected.

Also, those rooms are so bland, identical and useless that I don't see how they could be anything but spawn rooms. Because almost every building in NA can be used for some kind of side mission, they all have to have spawn rooms for the enemies/marines to come out of.

Armor Lock is not a crutch, it is a wheelchair!

Just a question about the data pads. I was on New Alexandria and was reading the data pad on the level. While reading said data pad, I heard voices speaking. I am pretty sure they are backwards like on previous Halo games, so I was wondering if someone could reverse the sound for me?

mabey if you dont kill any of the bobs, while finishing the game in one run, they all show up at once in lone wolf?

  • 05.07.2011 12:27 PM PDT

You know that 'glitch' where if you use the hologram ability just before you die it has a random armour configuration.
Would it be possible for the BoB helmet to appear in this way?
'Cause if it doesn't, wouldn't that show that it isn't possible to get it at the moment and would have to be downloaded or come in a title update or whatever?
But if it does, then we can be sure of it's existence.
Although, I have seen a random hologram with grenadier chest and the robot arm...

theres another helmet glitch pretty common but alot of ppl dont know about it! play lone wolf CO-OP and DON'T be the last guy alive!! if u die before the last guy when u watch the fight cutscene your spartan will be defualted and then the helmets will be random helmets with random attachments!!! ive seen the commando with gungnir attachments or the jfo helmet with eod attachments

There was a rumor a thousand or so pages back that someone had seen it doing this, but I doubt it's true. The random combinations is because the armor is actually stored in even more seperate parts than you see in the armory, and when they are completely randomized you can get weird combinations.

Waste of your time, it's already been done.


Really? I didn't see a guide ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET for killing the Lone Wolf BOB on Legendary. Care to share? Nah, doubt it. As you were my good sir, keep wasting everyone's time.

No need to get snappy. I know some people who killed every BOB on Legendary already. They didn't make a guide or anything. Not trying to waste anyone's time.

Just noticed that the BoB in the picture of the helmet whatever you want to call it in question.. is where the Gold Visor effect.

More evidence it is a feasable helmet that can be aquired. :)

  • 05.07.2011 9:26 PM PDT

Famous LAN parties

The main objective for me, is finding the legit ones on Exodus and New Alexandria, and above all else, how many will we have to kill before anything special happens...!?

Subject: The "BOB" Helmet Theories (Bungie, give us a hint please!)

how about kill 7 BoBs in the 7 levels where they're at?

  • 05.07.2011 10:59 PM PDT

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

I reckon we are looking at the wrong theories, we need to come up with one that isn't so obvious. This is Bungie we are talking about after all, they wouldn't make it that simple. Think out of the blue.

Try bringing multiple people into the hallway at a time so that people can spawn on each other and keep going.
