You can actually board banshees in NA if you plasma pistol them but good luck trying to do that to a bobshee.


Not sure if they were talking about NA or Exodus. Too lazy to look through the last few pages. But yeah, it's hard enough (at least without a jetpack, if you forget to grab it) to board a regular one, much less than more much mobile and durable bobshee.

Is it possible that we actually need to sky-jack the banshees? you said when they die there is no body so maybe you have to personaly open the banshee and throw the driver out.


I was thinking this, too. Has this been tried?


there are probably 30 useless posts asking about skyjacking banshess...it cannot be done, please read through the thread at least a little bit


I haven't read the past few pages but if this is referring to the Exodus banshees, yeah, it can't be done. I've tried skyjacking them before because I thought it would be awesome to fly through the level. I came so close to the banshee that he actually hit me when he made a slight turn and I took some damage. I never got an option to skyjack. I tried it on several banshees.


Its possible, I was trying it behind the Sinoviet center, only reason I did it is because I'd given up and didn't hold my action button... And I got the option. Plus, how else would you be able to drive the phantom?

Got a theory for Exodus with strong BOB ties to Marathon. In Exodus there are quite a large number of civilians, correct? I am pretty sure killing them results in a checkpoint reload, but what if there was a "special variant" aka BOB that COULD be killed without forcing a reload? Someone should do a play through and look at all the civis in theater to see if any look/act peculiar. Like I said, just a theory, but nobody else seems to have come up with this idea yet (on this forum). They WERE born on Reach, so it makes a little sense. Plus you are told INGAME to protect them, and killing them directly is punished, and when you are in the same area as they are, there is too much going on (Brute attacks and such) to be able to inspect them all closely.

Ill do just that good idea, other people should try this as well so we have a lot of different points of view.

Expanding on OP's IWBYD thing, with the hackers, Bungie Loves that skull, enough to hide it away in the most random, unthinkable puzzle of easter eggs. Who would think to jump through those rings, especially in that order? Anyway, since it was ruined, like OP said, they wanted to hide something so much better and harder to find, not even hackers can get it. So, what if they hid away their secret like Halo 2 or Halo 3 IWBYD? Loading certain checkpoints, or doing some sequence, or both?

  • 05.10.2011 11:56 PM PDT

what order of what though? in halo three the order you jumped through the hoops made a noise (if i am remembering right) is there anything in exodus or N A that reacts in this way?

ODST 251st

So has anybody tried 77 total BOB kills yet?

Yeah, I know, there isn't really anything, but it's just a thought.

as said above the civilians in exodus do remind me of the old marthon bobs your required to protect them but they always get in the way it could actually be possible that one of them is coded as a bob and would be a very smart way to hide it we would probably need a data minor to see if it was the case though becase there are loads of civilians on the level.

You can't get anywhere near it, and there's nothing on it anyway.

You know on NA kat gives you random bonus objectives? Sometimes there are elites. I don't just an idea.

  • 05.12.2011 12:48 AM PDT

<(-_-)> Teh mokey is not amused

Bobs sometimes spawn in different places on the same level. Maybe you need to kill all of them, not just 1 per level.

Don't you think on Exodus there could possibly be BOB Brutes? I know nothing about this. I thought I might say.

I'm pretty sure something would've came up by now though, and I think Bungie would've made that the weekly instead of the one in the banshee
