If the BOB on Exodus hasn't been found yet, I have a theory.
On Exodus, it is too easy to get out of the map. There is a HUGE area to explore out of the map. I have seen a Banshee on the ground that could be skyjacked, so maybe the BOB is somewhere out of the map or in the Banshee?
Also, I have seen a gold elite outside of the map on Exodus, although I don't know if it was a gold Ranger elite.
Consider this?


Tell us where you saw the elite. I doesn 't make sense to just say "oh yeah I saw a elite on exodus". After that we can help you.

Subject: Regarding BOBS. (Read Whole Post)

10 years +10 years = 20 years of Halo Long live the King of Kings

Undertaking this concept is a tough job, if these BOBS are really do or hold something important in the game which we know they must because of their differentiating ways of stealth and having been different out of any covenant elite seen thus far then this is the amazing mystery easter egg we were all searching for unfortunately exodus and new alexandria are the levels in which the BOBS become amazingly hard to find let alone kill but yet the mystery of campaign difficulty is still unknown all comes down to finding these mysterious culprits for hopefully we will one day bungie had to have set this up it cant just be a random coincedence of fun or boredom it is something more, something that will unlock more secrets now we must continue our search unwavering no matter how impossible it may seem i will search for the answer along with any and all others who wish to find the answer to this astonishing mystery.

Here's proof that GRD could be in defiant map pack

Pre-Order Bonus Armor
Game Add-on
108 KB


Limited Edition Bonus Content
Game Add-on
108 KB


These were both armors added in the game that are NOT on the disk. A lot of people are saying that armor cannot be added to the disk after it came out because you'd have to change all the maps, which is untrue proven by these.

If 343 wanted to add a single armor, it would only take 108 kb of data. Thats .1 of a mb. When all maps in defiant were finished it took about 450 mb? and later they changed it to 690 mb, where it remains today. 343 added something that was 250 mb, which could in theory be 2500 helmets, or it could be a new animation that activates a helmet.


so has any one ask 343i why the map pack grew in size?


Firefight Voices, Only in english voices of course 343i didnt add the other languages to firefight

10 years +10 years = 20 years of Halo Long live the King of Kings

If it does come then it will be download only because Frank O' Conner stuttered with question but when he said it he also said " Um. well i well not on the disk-- uh just play it"

NA "BOB" theoretically found on NA. I was looking into this a bit furhter, and tried following a bob banshee for a while to see what it does.. i followed it for about 10 minutes to see it swoop over a building with a gold armoured ranger? elite on it. not sure if it was a bob or not. seems a good start to me.

How long could you follow it? 'Cuz I could only follow it so long (1 minute) before it went off-map.

  • 07.16.2011 6:23 PM PDT

@ESF Blitz: Just curious... Had that building purple lighting on the rooftop?

  • 07.16.2011 6:35 PM PDT

I believe so. I am still searching for more information to verify this.

after it dissapears, wait a while. it reappears somewhere in the area. as far as i can tell. its second reaapearance is randomly within something of a 2-3 screen view radius

I am still looking into this and would like some help from the professional bob fanatics. i believe taht on that building, is a way to get the bob medal for the mission. there is a walking bob here. The GOLDEN TREE CITY challenge was meant to draw our attention to the bob banshee. maybe more than just kill it. i am trying to gather a video or some evidence that it reappears after dissapearing 1:00 into the chase
[EDIT] News on exodus as there are two banshees that seem to boost. maybe you have to kill both to get the medal, as with NA, the second time it comes in... follow it. or maybe there are more than one BOB banshee in this map as well to kill

One thing, if the building was indeed the one in front Errera, then possibly it was a major... Possibly.

About the reapering thing, i never noticed it, but i hope its real, so we may have more BOBs.

this was not the building in front of Errera, but one farther away. and as exodus proves i have found two banshees there. both flying boost never ends. and dissapear very quick. near the beginning before the platform... once you get to the jetpacks. comes out of the right, facing away from the platform, and shoots up in the air. i have heard speculation that this may not be a BOBshee, but it flys low, never stops boosting, and is quite hard to damage.

  • 07.16.2011 7:12 PM PDT

If it wasnt the one infront of Errera, then it was the one near the hospital, where no Elites are supposed to be there... I hope we are on something.

BTW, can any one try to get the first BOB on this video to spawn and figure out how? i cant get it, no matter what i do...
