Here's just my idea, someone mentioned killing the BOBs in a certain order, well I was watching the radio transmisson from Overlook when he kept repeating a string of numbers, 1-5-7-4-1-7-1-2, maybe a level code? add them together to get 27, hmm i dont know!!!


By overlook do you mean winter contingency?



i don't know, this isnt my video, it says Overlook

lol thats funny. but i believe it can exist and maybe bungie was using a differnt disc..come'on its bungie


Well, you remember how H3: ODST had a multiplayer H3 disc? Perhaps the H:R multiplayer disc for HCEA will have it on. Think about it:

Everyone keeps saying "its not on the disc", what if it is on another disc? It would make sense. I don't 100% know, so I'm just throwing this idea out, I'm sorry if I missed anything (now I wait 4tehtrolls :\)


It would still need to be downloaded by people with the original Reach disk, which I think has been established to be impossible based on Reach's raggity ass architecture.

I would have gotten you that hyperlink, but the other guy beat me XD.

Halo 4 is my life

its sad, that even if this forum or anyone ever finds it out, even if it takes hours to obtain, SOON it will become a nooby or popular helmet, or people will say "o who cares, he just did "insert how to get helmet"", i'm not wasting my time doing that for a different helmet, and if it easy to get, everyone will have it, and it will just become nooby, for example hayabusa, great secret and all, then it becomes unpopular, yet people look at the helmet and say "o he just got all the skulls, who cares, i'm not wasting my time", and then it got really popular, and people are like "who cares about that helmt", I really think this helmet should be like the recon helmet, and it should never be given out to the public easily, then, you would look at the helmet and go OMG. So, still keep looking, but, after you find it, no one will care.

@Duo Orbatar well 343 said they were going to improve Multiplayer Matchmaking. So maybe some of these medals will become attainable.

However, when I said all medals... I meant when you go to the medal chest and select ALL MEDALS from the drop down that includes medals from ALL gametypes. Not just campaign medal chest or FF medal chest that uses the same template (which includes "broken" medals). The medals aren't broken it's just the template.... Of course you're not going to get a Hero medal or Perfection medal in campaign bc it's not for that gametype. Hero is for strictly for FF and Perfection is strictly for Competitive MM.

I stand by my theory... 100% game completion is how to get the helmet.

I meant that the helmet would only be available to those with the HCEA disc, but then they wouldn't be able to play with others on the normal disc, so back to square 1 again :\

notorius (I think!) And also, Bungie are notorius for being extremely secretive, even within their own company so even if evil otto threw people off or was telling the truth, he may have had no idea.

if so then all the helmets and new armors would be on the disk and hackers would have already gotten to it. so i think that idea maybe a fail. i think that no new armor will be added unless ther is a freakishly huge update after bungie leaves.

Recon was on the original halo 3 Disk, so could this one. And like ODST it's unlocked from achivements on both the Multiplayer disk, and original. That wouldn't cause any problems.

Just because noones found it, whats to say its not very well hidden? Hackers found their secret once, they're not letting it happen again.

As we know Hackers are looking for certain code in certain places, however... If the code is separated in different areas, and carefully recompiled by an event triggered, *Hackers would see it but consider it a Campaign or Trigger Hurt type of mechanic* by an achivement. Thus it would be unlocked at a later point.

Well, what if installing the maps to the hard drive, it installs more of the armory aswell, so it it never originally on the disc?

Good theory

But what if you have to be an actual Bungie member to have the armor???

HaloReachSecrets - The ultimate BOB and Easter Egg source for Halo: Reach.

July 7th, 2011, The "BOB" Helmet, now known as "GRD" Helmet, was seen in Tender Loins armory as he quickly went through the helmets available in the armory. If anyone has a picture or a video of this, PM me asap!

Since there are now three confirmed BOB Banshees, on three separate levels (not counting multiple spawns per levels) our search takes us to the skies, in search of BOB Banshees.

The Package BOB Banshee



Bungie Weekly Update BOB Comments

Current Objective: Kill BOB Banshees, since they seem to be our last hope).

IWHBYD skull ruined by hackers within three days. September 25th 2007- September 28th, 2007.

343 Studio Employee stutters at 4:15 over new armor question.

BS Angel comment.

Large BOB Helmet picture.

BOB Helmet on Xbox.com Dashboard

Comparison picture of BOB helmet to Marathon BOB


Three quick-points (for the people complaining, these points are my theories, not 100% fact):

1. BOBS work like Halo: 3 skulls, since the campaign had no skull collectables, or collectables that reward the player something.

2. Halo: 3 had a huge mystery, the IWHBYD skull, and hackers ruined it fast. Bungie isn't going to make the same mistake again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: Are there any videos showing all the BOB spawn locations so we can hunt for ourselves?

Answer: Yes, the following videos are NOT mine, but they show the majority of the BOB spawn locations and they are pretty straight foward.

1. Video One

2. Video Two

3. Video Three

4. Video Four

5. Video Five

6. Video Six

7. Video Seven

8. Video Eight

9. Video Nine

10. Video Ten

The videos above once again are NOT mine, but each video shows you pretty much every single BOB in the game and they are excellent.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I consider myself a BOB fanatic. Me and my crew HRS know every spawn, on every level, on every difficulty for BOB. I understand how he works, and how much it takes to kill BOB. Now, I think people on Bungie.net and people who play Reach aren't looking at the BOBS the way I do.
The campaign had no skull collectables, and the skulls from Halo 3 unlocked armor, Hayabusa. I consider the BOBS to be "moving, interactive, skulls." There is a BOB on each level, and for the two levels (Exodus and New Alexandria) he is in a Banshee. (Proof: Under his description he is named as an Elite "Light" Vehicle.") I personally have killed one BOB per level on Normal, and now I'm two levels off killing each BOB on Legendary.

Before I elaborate deeper, each BOB gives you a medal, Bungie is having a lot of daily challenges for us to kill BOB on Heroic+, and these BOBS don't just appear as you progress through the level, they also appear behind you. On Long Night of Solace for example, as you move toward the Sabre, turn around in the level and head back to the beach. You will notice the beach is STILL full of activity. Now here is the fun part, kill three waves on the beach of enemies, and watch each wave. Each wave gets harder and harder. On wave 3, and toward the end, BOB will randomly drop in a drop pod, and disappear within two-three seconds. Bungie has programmed SO many unique spawns for the BOBS, I doubt it's just for fun or nothing.

BOBS descriptions tell you to "Wipe them out" "Seek and Destroy" and to simply kill them all. This is a reference to a Marathon Vidmaster, and to the secret of the BOBS, to find and kill them all on Legendary, just as you would wipe them out on Marathon. The Vidmaster also tells us to hit all switches and so on, but I think this doesn't matter. What we have to do Bungie.net is to kill ONE BOB per level, and make sure we get the "BOB" medal for each and every mission. This is why nothing has happened, because getting the BOB medal for the Banshee kills isn't possible. Yet Bungie states the BOB in the Banshee is a BOB, but it has NO pilot when destroyed and you don't get the medal.

Hackers destroyed one of the most secret, long term Easter Eggs of Halo 3: The IWHBYD skull. This was meant to take AGES to find. Hackers ruined it pretty quickly. Don't you think Bungie would have stepped up their game against the hackers for Halo: Reach? This is my personal theory, the BOB helmet.

Picture of the comparison here

The picture above is of the BOB eye piece from Marathon, and this secret helmet. This helmet is on the disk hidden away along with the chest piece we have seen in so many pictures. The screenshot was from IGN and IGN does not fake screenshots for the public. This picture was used on the Dashboard and has had a lot of attention. BS Angel from the Waypoint forums told us that "She can't tell us how to get the helmet, that would take the fun away from finding out how to get it." (Summed up quote) I doubt this means it will be unlocked via a patch in the future, this means the helmet works like Hayabusa did, get a BOB medal PER mission on Heroic+ and you get the armor pieces.

BOB has one-three unique spawns per mission, and they aren't normal spawns. Bungie has programmed some BOBS to be VERY hard to find, like the BOB on The Long Night of Solace. The secret helmet resembles the BOB eye piece from Marathon. Bungie is trying to help us along to killing these BOBS through daily challenges and is trying to bring attention to them weekly. The descriptions are to kill them all. BOB is VERY strong, probably the strongest enemy in the campaign shield and health wise, he flees, spawns secretly, and can vanish in thin air. He IS on each mission, and in a Banshee on two, which doesn't yield the medal for killing him.

HRS


Doubt it. I saw a Bob spawn in front of me inside the Spire once. Then he killed me.
