So, has it been said "kill them all with grenades?" Don't know how to kill the BOBshees with nades, but I assume it could be done. Maybe with grenade launchers, on a falcon?

Awesome! I really hope that there is something to this. On a side note: On New Alexandria, there are a lot of buildings and some of them have helipads on them, and most of the others have somewhere else you can land. Maybe there is a door on one of these that actually opens? It would be a really good place to put a BOB. Another idea I have is this: when you use activate the pelican/phantom easter egg, all the soft kill zones turn off. Maybe the BOB is hidden outside the level?

This is what I was thinking. I've been under the map before [Floating glitch at the very bottom, under the kill zones. I FOUND IT TOO!] Anyway. You can float down there so what if somewhere there's like a permeable wall that leads to the BOB or something.

Don't hate the player, learn by them.

[quote]Theory: One BOB Medal per mission.

Status: Busted
Reasoning: The BOBS for these two missions actually fly, they don't walk. These missions are actually full of Brutes, so any type of Elite would be out of place. This is why Bungie placed BOB in the Banshees.


But a BOB is a BOB, nobody said he was an elite? He might just be a Brute in real, real tight armour?

the mandibles stick out after they die, nice try though.

I've been searching less and less due to the nice weather I've been having where I live and other activities. Soon I am going to start searching again.

Keep testing theories and ideas guys. :)

This might seem like a long shot, but maybe you need to hijack these banshees to get the medal? I remember hijacking a banshee in the campaign, but there was no Elite inside at all...

The BOBs in NA and Exodis are in banshees. The one on NA is in front on the club with the hunters in it and it flys low to the ground and fast so u have to kill it quick. Im still looking for the BOB in Exodis but its in one of the banshees.

KIWIZ RULE THE WORLD!

Its just that nobody knows it yet...

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

*Sniff Sniff* I SMELL BULLBLAM!

plus I would not put it past bungie to place it somewhere ridicules like on top of a building way out (new Mombassa H2 scarab gun, who the hell found that?) so we should look out for buildings with higher resolution or are solid outside of the normal boundary.

Two wise young men meet at the top of a mountain and futally attempt to push each other off while the third, much older, wise man, that was first to the top, watches. After hours of struggle a victor was decided. As the victor turns to him, too tired to fight more, and the wise old man begins his climb on another hill far above the hill he recently occupied. The victor is left bewildered and lacks the energy to climb further. The wise man and the older wise man were now in their rightful places.

Has anyone tried or suggested assassinating some or all of the bobs? this was probably suggested but i couldn't not offer it as a suggestion.

Exactly Duardo.

These Banshees are more durable, and they act differently than other Banshees, but I'm not convinced there are BOBS inside of them. This might be Bungies way or throwing us off.

So the theories are a BOB kill on each mission on Legendary, which I'm two levels off of doing.

Or a BOB medal per campaign mission.


So you have gotten all the known BOB medals on legendary.

If you find the other 2 BOB medals, please do at least one on easy, then normal, etc, so we can know if there is a possibility of only needing to get them on a lower difficulty than legendary.

I hope I was clear.

Also, thanks for your effort.

  • 05.15.2011 12:46 PM PDT

alright, i got 2 new ideas for the new alexandria bob. random but at least it's something.
1. have someone in each of these 2 secret rooms at the same time. the bob might spawn in one of them, perhaps with one or more switches already having been pressed?
2. have 2 people use the inside kat's death room glitch to get inside the room, then have one more person progress through the level until they have killed the shades and their waypoint is to land on the tower's landing pad to end the mission. maybe the bob will spawn in the room.

found this, more evidence bungie knows about the bob helmet. (someone could have said this but i dont read 70 pages)

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid= 31394

in this update people are making helmets, if you go down, someone has a crappier version of the bob helmet, and bungie replies "hey bob"

proving that it DOES indeed exist. Bungie just wants to hide it. hoping that this does help, but as for how to get it, it still remains a mystery.

What makes me think that it doesn't exist is that it has never been used before. Think about it. Have you seen anyone used this helmet in Multiplayer? If it isn't even used by bungie themselves, then that makes me question if they even put it in the game. This could just be the product of bungie showing off a file they have locked up in the back so no one can touch it until they decide to update HR or something.

just my thoughts

That's been mentioned at least a dozen times in this thread. At least read through the thread a little before posting.

i read through the first three pages and the last 4, I dont have such time on my hands to read all 69, i simply wanted to contribute anything i knew incase it could somehow help.

sorry for inconveniencing you, clearly I am illiterate.

Not illiterate just ignorant... and if you pay attention to the picture in the matchmaking lobby for Squad Slayer if you are BoB fanatic as most of us are in this lobby you would notice that the chest piece that the Operator is wearing in front is indeed the mysterious chest piece said BoB was wearing in the Defiant map pack.

=)

Proof you are wrong and it is obtainable, also a small feature to be noted is that I believe the infamous picture also has the gold visor effect on. ;)

Well I'll be the uncle of a monkey who rear ended a duck... sorry couldn't say the actual rhyme thanks to blam. The chest piece the infamous BoB is wearing is clearly unobtainable and different from any other... but I urge you to closely look at the front most person in the Squad Slayer matchmaking lobby picture, the person wearing the Operator helmet.

TL;DR Operator person's chestpiece in the Squad Slayer lobby picture is different from said BoB's chest piece as well as different from any other chest piece in the game and is unobtainable.

WTL;RDR - New photograph from BWU reveals atleast 2 new armory pieces, Squad Slayer photograph reveals atleast 1 new armory item with a combined; 1 New Helmet 2 New Chest Pieces.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I simply want to clear up a couple of things,

while your logic is sound and I wont argue with you that they have indeed created these pieces of armor. As of RIGHT now I believe they are unobtainable since nobody in the halo community, or bungie community is wearing it. Either they are so smart that they have managed to find players who don't know how to use theater, or they simply haven't released it to the general public or even themselves.

I'm not correcting you, I simply think I had written my first message wrong and thus made people think that I thought it didn't exist. I do think it is real, but I don't think bungie doesn't want anyone to have it quite yet.

also, I am a person and not a machine, don't be so harsh to call people "ignorant" just because I want to voice my own opinion

People can be fearless on the internet when not knowing who they are talking to and having absolutely no consequences for any of their actions. (not describing you, but am describing internet community)

Killing is a strong word, i prefer the phrase: Removal from the world by force.

perhaps you have to force the banshees somewhere in order to kill them out of the banshee?

or maybe we havent found the BOBs of these 2 levels?

maybe they're somewhere else?

try following each banshee for a period of time to see if something special happens? =o

False. the chest piece in the squad slayer playlist is Collar/breacher.

Halo is amazing :)

So, I'm not sure which vid it is that is in OP's 1st post..but the dude was questioning the packages that are floating in a room.

I spent over an hour and a half landing on buildings and checking doors...nothing to report. But, the packages all have the same series of numbers on the bottom. Probbably just random stuff tossed everywhere. (I mean, why would there be newspaper on the top of some club).

But yeah, nothing to report..</3 (Maybe jacking a shee and landing on the roofs of the doors that don't open could bring out a BOB?)

  • 05.16.2011 3:24 AM PDT

Fear is the path to the Dark Side!

It's my opinion that there are no walking BOBS on Exodus or NA. Why have BOBshees if there are walking BOBS? Seems pointless. Especially since on all other levels only one BOB spawns per level playthrough. I think we are missing something else. Another switch or a pattern of switches or a pattern of killing BOBS...

Or maybe we are just waiting for 343 or Bungie to give us a challenge to kill a BOB on every level and collect every data pad and then we can unlock something via waypoint or bnet.

I have a BOB kill on every level (not all legendary) and I am currently almost done collecting every data pad. Then I am going to push every switch. Once I have done that, I am just going to wait for Bungie Day.
