The bob on new alexandria... couldnt he be on a building top? and be at a VERY specific time? the way to prove this is to map a grid of the city, and assign everyone a building, but also a partner, the partner would go through the campaign, make sure he reaches all checkpoints and the such, just in case?

this is damn smart. another thought. is it possible to, for instance, take it somewhere. an example of this is that in Winter contingency, there is a building that is not used for anything, but there is a flashing green button and it doesnt work, but the gold elite on WC attacks you sometimes on LASO. could it be possible HE pushes it or something.

Its interesting, and about time someone colaborated all this information into one thread

and that has been the best understanding of the mystery helmet i've seen so far

Maybe the secret of the bobs has something relevent to their contexts, the "Born-on-boards", Sanghelli who have spent their lives from birth living and working on covenant ships. We havn't heard anything about this in any other aspects of the Haloverse, are they regarded highly? are they low class warriors for having no homeworld?

Would such a context exist with the sanghelli being composed of male crew?



As they're Rangers


No there not just rangers because when we had the challenge to kill a bob i went to ONI and killed a the white elite everyone saying not a bob and i got the challenge for it so that proves that they are bobs too.

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 >.>




Been here and searched. Found nothing. I played on LASO and had not died prior to this checkpoint. I think maybe what you saw was a brute chieftain, which also wears a gold(-ish) armor.

however there are three hidden brutes one the ledge beneath, who appear when you come out of the suicide squad area, and immediately despawns.

Theory: These could be the bob? There are no, or few elite models on the entire map. Maybe they count as bob, since having elites on this map might have been an issue?

Pretty obviously you get a load of plasma grenades right before encountering these. Suicide squad anyone?

I'm considering reading Exodus's scripting if I can figure out how to, or have somebody else do it. Then we can see if there are any Elite Models scripted into it.

And about the Brutes, you're insane. We'll need to look around for any secret passages in the suicide area.

You know you are good at GH3 when you can have a "bad" run on through the fire and flames

About these "BOB" banshees on Exodus and New Alexandria. Has anyone tried to hijack these banshees? It is possible that the pilot is a legit BOB and can be killed for the medal. Just a thought, might be worth a try.

I am not crazy. they are there. se for yourself. you could probly kill them by jumping off the ledge and spam grenades.


also if you really plan on reading the code / datamine for bobs, why dont you rather try to find the tags on existing bobs to locate the spawn sequence of those that havent been found?

its just that you have to stop him with your falcon, have player2 jump out with a jetpack, EMP him and then hijack the banshee. (difficult)

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

For Exodus, have you tried pummeling the Wraith drivers? The Elites usually drive those. Maybe there are switches or a way to hijack the banshees so we can get to the section with he wraiths. Maybe if you wait, the Pelican will arrive. Then, you hop on the pelican and drop down to the islands or the rooftops. Or maybe you could EMP one of the Falcons or even the Banshees towards the beginning of the level.

Edit: For EMPing

Falcon when you are at the end of the level or the near-end.

Banshees when they fly overhead where you get the jetpack.

I wasn't saying they ain't there, just saying that it was insane to go kamikaze off a cliff.

That would probably be easier.

ok. guys. just throw the "lets EMP the banshee and jack it" idea out the window. Bungie made the banshees with BOBs in them unhijackable. the message never shows up even if u EMP it. (in WC when u have to fight waves of enemies, two banshees show up and are famous for getting stuck. you cant jack those, even when you EMP them they still cannot be jacked) The Forum Ninja if anything was trying to tell us that we have the wrong BOBs for those levels. They have to be ground bound or perhaps they spawn and get into banshees. you just need to find where said spawn is perhaps?

i have learned its better to be nice, than not to be.

I am pretty sure i killed one on exodus. I think he was running, while i was gunner on the falcon. I like killing them, i have alot of medals thanks to hunting them.

This. Who's to say there isn't a BoB that spawns on a random rooftop somewhere that only spawns when you land on it or something?

^ sounds plausible. Im thinking that it may be a timed thing, that at a certain time and certain place he spawns. honestly we are going to have to work together to uncover the truth of New Alexandria. We need people to watch different buildings and different locations and such. if anything we need like a fly-over view of the map so we can mark places to watch then enter into a game and play for a LONG time and theatre different locations and watch most of the time. Yeah, it will take a LONG time. Yes, it will be tedious. but then we can check off each spot that has been looked through.

There is a non-banhee BOB in New Alexandria. I found it on the way out of the hospital, but before you get to the round room with the elite and skirms.

  • 04.19.2011 10:07 AM PDT

maybe he didnt kill it?

  • 04.19.2011 10:08 AM PDT

I didn't. He fled on sight after a few DMR rounds collided with his head. Went looking but never found it. I've seen him there more than once.
