first off i havnt read your entire forum! just throwing it out there(will do later on!) but secondly and most importantly i love hunting down glitches/tricks/rarities inside of the halo reach campaign! i have found all the datapads (known) done all the button tricks (4 banshees on package, race on oni! crap like that) and killed a bob on most levels (missed a few here and there), and thats what brings me here!! id like to find and kill a bob on every level especially legendary difficulty. Soo im asking if you and yoru friends need any help i'm game!

the real question i have is! i know the golden city tree challenge lets u know u killed a bob on new alexandria has anyone tried the other bob challenge in exodus! the one that says kill a bob in any campaign mission? and if so!! why does it not show up as a medal for either map? (also i have a descent amount of elite kills on exodus but i dont recall ever seein any elites on that level?)

These BOBS were programmed to be difficult to kill, and some you have to actually have patience and be clever.

They are NOT just an enemy to kill or a reference, they mean something.

People just don't put the time into trying different things and killing them.


Perhaps they all need to be assassinated....... And skyjacked...

The only Seek and Destroy medals I have are all on ONI, but I've never killed a Golden Ranger, only the white dual-wield plasma rifle elites. They must count as BOBs too.

Proof here

That white Elite is the only one in the game that actually appears, and he has different sets of armor on each time. He IS the BOB for that level. Maybe this was another way Bungie is trying to throw us off.

Maybe it's the same thing on Exodus and New Alexandria.

Maybe the BOBs in those levels are...dare I say it? ......Brutes?

  • 04.19.2011 12:54 PM PDT

While that is an interesting idea, no Brutes during Exodus act as the BOB does. Meaning, there are no Brutes that magically disappear, run away if seen, and are very, very strong.

Maybe we never found one.

You say that you were looking for a BOB right? A BOB is generally an Elite, right?

I doubt that you were looking at the Brutes, I bet you were looking around for an Elite in every nook and cranny.

And I have seen a Brute that acts like a BOB. He was a chieftan, but he was carrying a Needle Rifle.

He shot at me while I was in the Wraith (towards the end of the level) and by the time I had turned and shot back, he had fallen back behind a little piece of cover.

I got out to go kill him, but when I got there, he was gone.

The BOB on Exodus is in a Banshee, if I remember well it comes when the Pelican starts to fly with the civilians and you get in the Falcon.
I don't think there's a way to Skyjack it.

It's worth a shot...I guess I'll try it when I get back from vacation.

Dude, did you even read my past comments?

You even have a page about them on your own website!

I believe what you have written here but wouldnt it make more sense if you had to kill every single bob on every mission just lijke halo 3 you had to obtain every skull

Also in Halo 3, there where the terminals. You where awarded an achievement upon accessing all of them in sequence.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

I have a theory, but we're screwed if its true. Maybe there is a BoB on the collapsing building at the beginning of New Alexandria? You might have to take him out from a distance with the Falcon, and if you try to get closer BOOM! You lose the chance forever.

  • 04.19.2011 1:36 PM PDT

I am reularg.

The lack off skulls was definitely disappointing. Hopefully these BOB's are their replacement.

And yes, I failed at linking. Silly me. My linked alt account is called Ultrademon 38.

You can actually make it to that building before it collapses if you fly to it while looking away from it. You explode if you touch it, though...

  • 04.19.2011 2:02 PM PDT

Do you guys realize how many possibilities there are? Its nearly limitless. And for new alexandria, the building with one of the jammers that White rangers flank you when you shut it down, has anyone tried something there?

  • 04.19.2011 2:02 PM PDT

Seriously Oak, Ive been doing this -blam!- for 16 years, gimmie my Friggen starter Pokemon and dont call me till im the champion! ¬_¬

Technically this species thing brings up some interesting ideas

a "born on board" could refer to Any Species, So there could well be a gold brute, grunt or even a jackel out there

then again, the medal does specify "Ranger Class Elite" so my arguments pretty void :P

  • 04.19.2011 2:03 PM PDT

tl;dr

  • 04.19.2011 2:05 PM PDT

Actually if you dont include the white BOB on ONI. And exclude new alex. and exodus. There are only 7 Gold ranger BOBs. Coincidence?

  • 04.19.2011 2:07 PM PDT

This goes deep xD
