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...
yeah. The second spotting for me was near the hospital.... i am sticking to the lowest possible point in the mission, trying to figure out where he spawns the second time

I will be researching for this, sadly, tomorrow is my last vacation day, so i wont be very active now...

good work!

If this is confirmed, i was the guy with the original idea, but as for confirmation, credit will have to go to Siul S249 and BombarrowMaster if and when it happens, because i can not myself provide any proof as i do not have a hard drive. and they are coming up with more information than i can find

@Youngrubby: The numbers thing does nothing.

And about the spawn points, i know of 36 on the whole game, but in some levels like Winter Contingency, ONI: SB, and the 3 drop pod BOBs on LNoS are random if you are kicked back to a checkpoint before it has spawned alrady, or if you restart the level

@De De DMR: Seek and destroy


@Siul S249: Thanks man!

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!! YOU`LL NEVER GET THE GRD HELMET!!!!

I have been reading alot, and i came up with possibly a new idea. Someone mentioned that maybe the Golden Tree City challenge was meant to help us find another BOB or other mystery. MY new thought was the elite drop pods on LNOS. And im not talking about the drop pods you encounter on the beach, Im referring to the ones that come out of the covenant corvette. There was a daily challenge for killing a few of them. I wonder if this could possibly have any relevance?

Could someone please tell me how they linked the GRD Helmet to BOBs? I don't see what one has to do with the other.

I just found the Exodus BOB and he was in a Banshee. He crashed into my Falcon, as I was landing to assault the Beachhead area, and then flew upwards. The Banshee then bacame riderless for no apparent reason. No one shot the Banshee and it did not go high enough to be killed by a boundary.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I've just found the final BOB!

(And now I'm going to laugh at myself when someone tells me they already found him months ago.)

wow! you really should get out more!!!

  • 07.17.2011 11:04 AM PDT

@Darth Kooky: The only banshees that spawn on that moment are normal banshees, when you are about to leave the falcon they boost away behind you, but sometimes they do it wrong or go underwater or even crash near you, and after some time they just fall, but they are open, you can see this before in the falcon ride. If you make a BOB skyjack you in a banshee and then wait until it despawns the banshee falls and stay closed, if what you saw was a BOB then that would have happebedm but anyways, i am pretty sure it wasnt.

I just tested the NA BOB repawn thing on legendary, i never notice anything repawing.

I got the first banshee BOB spawn (hospital to sea path) and just waited until it despawned out of the map, and waited some time.. And well, didnt notice any other banshee acting like that. If its real then i must have missed it.

Something else: When the first objective is Errera, these banshees will not spawn, possibly meaning that they can spawn somewhere else later in the mission?

No. Nobody saw it. It wasn't there.

  • 07.17.2011 3:22 PM PDT

Hey guys i found a new GRD helmet reference that we totally overlooked! it's on unearthed in the spawn room! look on my file share

  • 07.17.2011 3:31 PM PDT

Interesting. It matches one of the codes on countdown, with the addition of the -G at the end. Did you look for any others on that level?

  • 07.17.2011 3:55 PM PDT

I just tried my latest NA BOB theory, i think i spoted something, time to watch the vid!

with that taken to note, at any time in alexandria there can be about 25-30 active banshees flying around. so... we may not find the second spawn in again, if maybe it was coinicdence for me the first time, unless completely by accident. something will surface eventually

could you tell me what your theory involved, and explain to me? maybe add my gt ESF Blitz, and we can discuss this a bit more?

  • 07.17.2011 5:01 PM PDT

@F Blitz : "When the first objective is Errera, these banshees will not spawn, possibly meaning that they can spawn somewhere else later in the mission?"

But actually, i just tried it and watched the vid, it happened that the second BOB (Near hospital to glassed area) spawned after i completed in this order: Errera-hospital-Sinoviet. It spawned when i was aproaching Sinoviet, This proves the banshee BOBs on NA dont have to spawn exactly at 5:00 into the mission!!

Crouching Bunny Hidden Shotty

just to clarify there are elites on New Alexandria... So maybe a thorough check on reflection for BOB or around that part of the level, possibly the sequence in which the level is completed you will find BOB. I will look into this when I can find the time but yeah just a bit of information for the OP.

i have been tinkering with these bobs for awhile and at this stage given that 343 has taken the reign i can't help but make the assumption the bobs were at one point during development going to be something tied to Easter eggs or unlocks but was abandoned near release date and wasn't taken out of the game code before the game shipped. if bungie has hidden something don't you think it would have been revealed before they handed the game over to 343 (unless maybe the viddoc in august might have something) here is hoping
that being said i will continue to hunt for these guys, it is a little fun
ps does anyone know if the bob banshee that i got to appear right next to the legend data pad on exodus is old news cause i have a clip of it in my file share
