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.


Read the FAQ.

Don't hate the player, learn by them.

Hey game, whats up?

Just something about the Vidmaster challange... about the difficulty setting it has to be...

Was it hardcore mode? Because I don't know if you have spotted this but theres a challange called hardcore mode enabled which is heroic with certain skulls on which might lead to a few... different stuff?

Just you know, trying to do my bit :)

One of the bungie members on the live stream yesterday had the GRD helmet (also known as the BOB helmet) in the armoury which has spectualted that it might still on the original disc and we are yet to find out how to get it.

Its on the IGN screenshot for the defient map pack but thats litrally all we know about it.

There is a claim that something called the GRD helmet was seen in the Bungie Day Steaktacular Live stream, which aparently looked like the BoB helmet.
I'm gonna go with "pics or it didn't happen" on this.

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.


Does this video mean nothing? Curiosity.

Also, pics of the GRD Helmet in Armory or didn't happen.

Um, I don't think this has been mentioned before, and may sound stupid but what about Moas ? There only in two levels, and I could swear in nightfall right after you say some civilians, and go through the valley, there's a Moe that disappears right after the checkpoint has been made. Bungie has made challenges for killing Moas too right ? And they have their Bungie.net medal. Just a theory....

  • 07.08.2011 6:05 AM PDT

Yes, This is my Signature. Thanks for Clicking :D

Noone Took a pic of that moment? D:

So I have been analyzing the links that you have posted. I have come to the conclusion that IF you are searching for BoB/GRD helmet, Killing BoB's is the wrong way to do it.

Look at the Video. He says(Upon being asked for new armor):

Well, its not built in to the- um, well, people should play it, lets put it that way.

So, my analysis of this one "sentence" (lol) is that helmet was NOT built in to the DLC BUT "people should play it" may signify that the way to unlock it is to do something in the map pack.

I killed that Moa last week doing my weekly challange... I don't feel any different? lol.

But maybe it is connected. I'm thinking an Easter Egg that lets you ride Moas? But yeah, I did snipe the Moa who disappears on Nightfall but... I didn't help the civilians I just ran past and it was my second go so I just shot him.

  • 07.08.2011 6:23 AM PDT

Plus, bs angel's comment about "having to put effort into it" also seems interesting. How many people have ACTUALLY played Firefight Limited on the new map and hit a very high set...?

Yea I did the same thing, its just a theory since it is a medal, and maybe there is a Easter egg that has to do with them.

  • 07.08.2011 6:27 AM PDT

or maybe the helmet is part of new vidsmaster challenges that involves reach and halo ce/anniversary just like odst and 3 did? I mean its almost the same deal here. Anniversary is the old game but has a map pack for reach's servers :-O ohh noooooo.....

Q: On Sword Base I saw a white Elite that uses random armor and duel weilds Plasma Rifles! Is this a BOB?

A: Yes, this is the BOB for this level. ONI has this BOB spawn inside of the ONI Building at the end of the mission and in the courtyard at the end of the mission. This is the only BOB ever found that is not traditionally golden and a ranger. Due to this being the second level, it is safe to assume once again that Bungie started with a pattern they were going to use. They made a golden BOB on Winter Contingency, and then they made a white BOB with rotating armor on ONI, and then Nightfall was probably going to have another unique BOB but Bungie realized it would just be easier to have just golden BOBs on the levels and they left in the white BOB just because they didn't want to go back and take him out.


Are you serious? That is a terrible explanation. You didnt know how to explain it so you came up with some BS answer that you have no proof to back up with.

I believe that elite is a white color is he not? Ever think that he could be one of the white skulls, you know, like on halo 3! They would not simply leave him there because they couldnt be bothered to delete him!

It is not by chance that halo 3 had white and gold skulls and reach seems to have white and gold bobs!

You cannot simply dismiss something like this and claim bungie just couldnt be bothered!
