Some people mentioned silver bobs.Gold and Silver bobs?Sounds like the skull colors to me.

There is one off set colored BOB on ONI, but I don't have any idea why Bungie made that BOB that particular color and made him have multiple armor sets and so on.

Maybe Bungie was programming individually unique BOBs into the campaign and then stopped once they hit ONI and realized it would have been too big of a job to do.

I don't know. haha

The "Anon covenant pilot" thing shows up in firefight, No covenant pilot thing in campaign to what i saw. And just a thought, Is it possible to kill the scarabs in the mongoose run area?

I know people have probably found this but i haven't read a whole lot of stuff to know but any ways at the end of nightfall there is a speeding banshee that flys right before the cave that you walk into and end the level. I was walking to the cave when i saw it. It was speeding and it flew away really fast. I'm not sure but it might be a BOBshee. Like i said someone might have already found this one if it is actually a BOBshee.

Bungie should consider investing in precipitation gathering nets for these forums. The sheer amount of tears shed by anyone who's been destroyed by armor lock, jet pack, grenades, and the AR could continuously operate hydroelectric dams, irrigate farms, and provide clean drinking water for third world countries.

It's not possible to kill any scarab in Reach.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!! Has any one seen the Rooster teeth thing were they show you how to get out of the level in theater mode? If not it doesn't mater. If someone were to get out of the map during theater mode, they could pause it at every checkpoint and try to find a BOBshee or a regular bob

Who give beat down? We give beat down!

I really want to help out but I don't even know where to start, I only know of a few Bobs and yeah, kinda hard to help mid-search. >.<

I suspect those are a glitch like the elite at the end of Gravemind in Halo 2 which as a randomized helmet and white honor guard armor because of a voice file glitch.
In that case the game couldn't work out what sort of elite it was to be so it defaulted to white and picked helmets at random. This sounds very similar, except it's the entire armor that changes.

Please don't start posts about almost nothing with "I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!" it's stupid and annoying.

OMG, sister! Seriously though, Duo Oratar's right. Don't do that.

Not really, You may just find something that the rest of us missed.

How do we prove/disprove this?

Update: TotS bob+pads down. I already have the BOB on LNOS but not the pads, so going to re-do at some point. Probably today, but no guarantee. 4 down, 4 to go... and bobshees...

AAAAAAARGH!!! Getting him on the beach in LNoS is a pain in the ass.
Scenario 1 - I take down the wraith then the enemies: he disappears in a second.

Scenario 2 - I take down the wraith, but not the enemies: he sticks around and I get killed by masses of elites.

Scenatio 3 - I take down the wraith then get around the enemies and camp with the rocket launcher watching his drop point: he drops in a different place behind me and disappears.

I can't count the number of different times I've been killed. Current game time almost an hour. Killed him once.

It should be noted that very occasionally, he doesn't instantly disappear, and instead hangs around with the other enemies. Just thought I'd let y'all know.

Going to take a break now. Coffee, cigarette, chill.

How do we prove/disprove this?


It was orginally proven in Halo 2 by looking at the level's code. It was found that all elite templates are labelled as using elite voice files from one or another of the voice actors.
For instance a level may have both elite templates voiced by voice actor A and elites voiced by voice actor B or just one of them.
In the case of Gravemind only elite templates for elite's using voice actor As lines were included, but the Councillor used voice actor B's lines. This meant the game did not understand which armor to pick for the elite because it did not match any known template, so it defaulted to white and a random helmet selection.
Because BoBs are a special elites I suspect that this happened also, maybe ONI sword base lacks BoB class elites in it's templates?
The only way to prove/disprove this would be by data mining the .iso, which I am so close to doing at this point.

Awesome info I didn't know before.


So it could be that there is the spawn point for a BOB, but no template on the level saying 'this is a BOB'. Hmm... Well, it makes sense to me. Would explain random armour (the red horn thing on one of the armour permeations is epic) and the fact that they don't really have a colour (I call them silver, but they're just kinda white here...)

Aaand... Data mining... I'm kind of in two minds about it, but if it's the only way, I say it might be worth it.

Edit:

Long Night of Solace BOB down! +2 Datapads. :D

I've got them all over campaign. WCr, TotS, LNoS, Exodus, NA, Package and Pillar.

Data mining is the only way to disprove any of this completely, and if acquiring a Halo Reach .iso didn't involve getting a torrent for it I'd do it too.
(Anybody who wants to bring up anti-piracy arguments, I already own one copy of the data, would you rather I modded my console to collect the data from the disc using illegal software from a certain xbox development kit?).

Found a third Bobshee in Exodus. Linky will need rendering if you want to see on computer. First time I've seen one here, usually they're on beachhead or as you're loading civilians onto the pelican.

Edit: FIIIIIIIINALLY found the bobshee on NA, but forgot the datapads. will redo sometime this week.

Edit 2: NA done, Package done. I had a BOB, but didn't see the bobshee. Wondering if bobshee only turns up on levels where BOB didn't? I really, really hate this level. Interesting fact: Since getting the achievement, I have never once had a game where the tank has been destroyed.

Edit 3: Just watched the level in theatre. The bobshee did appear on the package, after I had killed a BOB. I just missed it.

I found a possible place for BOBs to hide on exodus. I recorded it and i'll try to post it on my fileshare. While I was playing Exodus i saw a door that was open and i ran over to go inside but the door closed and i wasn't able to get in until a brute walked into the room. As soon as the brute walked into the room the door opened and wouldn't shut. So my theory is that if a land BOB is on exodus he will spawn, walk to a door like this, and after it closes he will despawn

Yeah, there are a load of those rooms around.

On a load of the buildings in NA you park your hornet on the top and the door will open. One of them on the building directly behind your start point has some floating packages.

Edit: Pillar of Autumn done. Only Lone Wolves left...

Is it possible to skyjack the banshee??? I don't remember the level exactly. I cant remember if you're forced in the falcon or what. Maybe there's another way to kill the banshee?

Yes please, I'd say "Let's skyjack the BoBshees" accounts for atleast one post on every page of this thread.
