Apparently I've killed the BOB, Solo-Legendary on Lone Wolf...

Interesting... try and guess what the WUH-BLAM! kill was. ;)

Hyperlinky

Now, I just have to hunt down the one on The Package.


Once you get The Package BOB reply back here and I will update the OP with your progress and prove the "One BOB kill on each level Legendary" theory false.

Game! How's it going? I had a question: did anything come of the mail you sent bungie, asking them to confirm the existence of the helmet (Or 'a secret', I forget) in game?

We received a reply from one Bungie employee, stating that they had no idea that the helmet existed until they saw it in the Defiant Map Pack screenshots, so they are basically in the same boat we are.

If you hop, you'll only die in the air.

That has to be it. who wants to try it?

I'd like to point out that the Marathon Achievement was to "Play on Total Carnage Difficulty, punch all switches, and never ever leave a single BOB alive.", meaning that besides killing BOB's, you need to hit all switches in each level and play it on LASO

Are you sure you didn't have the thunderstorm skull on?
I believe thats the one that gives a major upgrade to all enemies.

  • 06.27.2011 6:17 PM PDT

Well, i believe a phantom does drop a handfull of ultra elites before the Hunters.

Also, the "wanabe" bobs have a random elite armor permutation each time.
If the ones you saw have the ultra armor all the time, they are regular Elites.


And speaking of BoBs....

Nightfall speed run encounter
Poor BoB.

On the other hand, HIGH FIVE!.

  • 06.27.2011 6:29 PM PDT

i believe at least three of them were regulars. but the one where the core is in invasion. he killed me once. at that point he was orange then when i went to kill him again he was white.

Get up to speed FFS.
No LE ending = Well established common FACT


doesn't stop people from searching.

It's like a big 'ol do not enter sign on an entrance to an old mine shaft. everyone says the gold was all mined out long ago, but you've heard rumors of a hidden deposit deep within the shaft, and you already have a pickaxe, so why not?

I have never heard this analogy used before. I like it.

Beware, Dragons live in caves my friend. Also, Dragons don't understand that we do not want to die. After all, we are made of meat and treasure. ;)

Also, I posted up some helpful tips for defeating the Lone Wolf BOB HERE.

There's one that spawns under a large rock near where spartans start out in invasion.

There is also an ultra on top of the Spire.
Hes not a BoB.

Like i said, if they have the regular Elite Ultra Armor all the time, they are just regular Elites.
As for you saying he was orange, idk, could of been the light.

Subject: Regarding BOBS. (Long Post)

I dont think there is a wanna be bob or a third in the POA because I played it in all difficulties and all I see is the same two bobs.

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.

Try pan-camming the mission. I know they might be hidden on any building in new alexandria

Nice picture of bob I always take pictures of all the ones I kill. To keep a record.
Poor BoB.

Let me go through my games and make absolutely sure I've nailed them all on Legendary. As of yet, nothing has happened. I know I do not have all datapads and hit switches. I will attempt these next.

Winter Contingency: YES
ONI: YES
Nightfall: YES
Tip of the Spear: YES
Long Night of Solace: YES
Exodus*: YES (Banshee vs Banshee Pilot Kills)
New Alexandria**: YES (Banshee vs Banshee Pilot Kills)
The Package: YES
Pillar of Autumn: YES
Lone Wolf: YES

* Banshee Pilot Kills = Total Banshee Kills // I have + 1 Banshee Pilot Kills // Therefore the +1 is the BOB
** Banshee Pilot Kills = 1/2 Total Banshee Kills // I have 1/2 +1 Banshee Pilot Kills // Therefore the +1 is the BOB

Wtf is a BOB?

  • 06.27.2011 8:54 PM PDT

So hold up.

Every single BOB has been located/killed, except the ones in Exodus and New Alexandria? The linked videos show all of the BOBS currently known?

"The Septagon symbolizes all that is right in the multiplayer world. A few million men and women, bound by honor, Bungie, and celebratory crouching."

I'd be interested to see how people will progress with their switch bashing playthru once they reach The Package. :)

So, yeah. Nothing for killing one BOB per mission on Legendary. Next, I'm going to try and kill EVERY BOB per mission on Legendary. That is, after I verify I've retrieved all the datapads and hit all known switches.

Any tips? I think I should try to recap which BOBs I've taken down...

WC: BOB that spawns by far base and runs up hill. I also "believe" the one that spawns by Datapad was taken down as well.
ONI: Courtyard and Interior.
NF: First large combat encounter, assassinated by bridge.
TOTS: Splattered by Bravo generator w/ Banshee.
LNOS: I want to say I've gotten the drop pod and bridge versions. Unsure of drop pod haven't gotten it in a long time.
EX: Gotten both BOBshees. Falcon landing/Beach head.
NA: Fast and low.
TP: Base interior. (missing courtyard + dropship)
TPOA: Garage baddie.
LW: Sword-wielder around 15m mark 13-15 kills.
