Q: What if you hi-jack a BOB Banshee and then kill the BOB that is pulled out! This would get you the medal for that BOB!

A: This doesn't work. Upon hi-jacking these Banshees you literally pull nothing out of them. One of the only levels you can actually hi-jack a Banshee on is New Alexandria, and the Banshees for the most part are empty. The BOB Banshees on Exodus cannot be hi-jacked either. Hi-jacking these Banshees does nothing, and upon killing them, you don't get the BOB medal, but these Banshees do count as BOBs due to the fact that there was a daily challenge called Golden Tree City, asking us to kill the BOB in a Banshee on New Alexandria flying fast and low.
I hi-jacked a BOB Banshee at The Package. I kicked the air.


You should post a video.


It's the same as hijacking any empty banshee. They don't put anything in them because it's a waste of processing power to draw elites you'll likely never see.


No one else has been able to jack a BOBshee. Just post a video so we can confirm it is possible.

It is possible. I hijacked it and killed the air. I did it on the Package. Use a jet pack on a banshee and hijack it. That's what I did then I killed the rest of the banshees. But they always keep respawning.

I have an idea, maybe on their last vidoc, they will tell us about the helmet. Or maybe tomorrow they will do this.


They already have.

Possible BOB in Exodus. Sadly the creator didn't start recording until the door closed so you cant split away from the spartan and leave the complex. In the middle of rendering now.

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use Caps Lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single Bob alive."

Been thinking about a thing, is there a reason why the B.O.B on ONI:Sword Base is white?

Also, I usually only play on legendary so all my observations are from this difficulty. All B.O.Bs I've encountered have always been agressive, not shy or afraid of battle.
On Winter Contingency he rushes the vehicle I drive and starts puping salvoes with his concussion rifle.

I know of 5 different spawn points on NA for the Banshee BOB, and also i know the path for 4 of them, and i am not a troll, and i got proof, but not XBL, if you want to know them i will get cellphone vids.

I don't think those are BoBshees...

  • 07.07.2011 2:54 PM PDT

can everyone play a game on NA and Exodus, then go to theatre afterwards and look of a ground BOB?

  • 07.07.2011 2:57 PM PDT

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use Caps Lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single Bob alive."

I have a quick question, will the BOB medal be registered even if I don't finish the level?

Also, a Bob spawns on ONI: Sword base in the court yard right before the hunters. Though he seems to be too fast to kill since there are 3 elites there. Couldn't get close to him since I got killed every time. This was some time ago, so I don't have a vid rdy. Though I played it today just to kill the Bob inside sword base and take a pic of him.

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.

You mean throwing us off like they did with the blind skull in Halo 2...

I've noticed that B.O.B will move in different directions, either he runs on the roof of the building furhest away containing a fork-lifer or he runs besides the building. Either way, he despawns right after passing this building.

Also, I noticed that the BOB I found on ONI:Sword base is a white bob (i.e. a ranger class elite) whereas in the youtube guide he's an ordinary elite.

here is mine

And here is another BOB from the same location found by another guy. Other users Bob on same level, same location

Its been a long time since I posted in a forum and I haven't even played halo in a few months but I keep getting drawn back to this thread.

Anyway, I don't know if this has already been said and its not even that good a theory but bear with me.

Remember the fabled scarab gun in halo 2? You had to lure a banshee down a tunnel before you could hi-jack it, in order to fly to the scarab gun. I know that this was so you could get past the barriers in the game but maybe there is a similar method to the BOB banshees in reach??$$

I'm too lazy to try so someone else do it for me and report back.

Subject: Regarding BOBS. (Long Post)

actually bob is really easy to kill on contigincey when u are driving the car thingy on solo he almost always shows up

  • 07.07.2011 8:35 PM PDT

Winter Contingency is the level to play if you just want a quick BOB kill. He's everywhere on that level.

Subject: The Ultimate BOB Search Topic (Small FAQ Posted)

Guys, I haven't read the whole thread, but have you tried skyjacking Banshees on the BoB Banshee Levels?
Reason being, they'd die of falling damage. That should credit you the kill.
Just a thought. Sorry if this has been thought of before.

“…On that day, half a century ago, our species was pushed to the crumbling edge of extinction, and as we teetered on that precipice, staring down into the abyss, a hand reached out, and pulled back from the brink, and gave us hope, The hand of a Hero.”

Any truth to the rumors floating around that the "BoB" helmet was seen during the livestream in the armory of Tender Loins?

Apparently it was called "GRD"

Just a rumor - figured I'd come here to find if anyone else saw/heard it.

  • 07.07.2011 10:54 PM PDT

People who seen it said it looked just like the BOB helmet. It probably was on the disk this whole time. hahaha

  • 07.07.2011 10:59 PM PDT

So many people seen it and swear up and down it's the BOB helmet. If Bungie are playing on normal Xboxs and retail copies of Halo: Reach, then it's on the disc, and hasn't been found yet! :)

It's not that I'm crazy... It's just that, you're not as far out there as I am.

Heh, bungie, I swear they're playing with us. They are trying to make us exhaust the game trying to find this Easter egg. Bravo and good hunting :)
