BOB...My deep dark enemy.

Yes I'm a gamer, Yes I play pokemon, Yes I love Fallout, Yes I'm a competitive Swimmer, Yes I'm a artist, Yes I Ski, And of course yes I love Halo.

I'm sure we'll learn the answer to this mystery eventually

No helmet.
Bobs do nothing.

Banshee Bob remains a mystery.

As we all know, there is no medal or elite light vehicle kill for a Banshee Bob. (And now that stats are on halo.xbox.com, no medals for any Bob, and Bob doesn't show up in the enemy list either ... but I digress.) We can confirm that Banshee Bobs are "Gold Ranger-class Elites" because killing them springs the "If it bleeds" and "Golden Opportunity" daily challenges, when they are in play.

So today I went Bob hunting on New Alexandria to fulfill the "If it bleeds" daily challenge. I decided I would follow Kat's instructions and play it through as directed, squatting for Bob only when the game play brought me close to the spawn point. Not a focused strategy but I was having fun. I didn't get Bob when I was called to the night club, and just continued with the mission. When I was called to Nakomi(?) tower, where the bugger trap is, I cleaned up the grunts and brutes in the front foyer with the Falcon's gun, and briefly pulled out to down two encroaching banshees. One of them tripped the "If it bleeds" challenge! I was stunned, as I could swear neither banshee was boosting, which was verified in Theater mode. This was near the end of the mission around the 28 minute mark. I finished the mission and replayed it in Theater mode. I traced back both banshees to their spawn points and both came from out of bounds. That is, neither spawned where Banshee Bob spawns. I also squatted, in theater mode, at Bob's spawn point, and he never showed. (Yes, all 30 minutes of the mission. I know, one would think I should have better things to do.)

I can post the mission, but I doubt anyone would be interested, since theater mode doesn't show the daily challenge popup. That is, you have only my word that that's what happened.

I guess then my question is, has anyone else experienced a successful daily challenge, seemingly at random, like the one described above?

Has anyone attempted a Campaign run that involved NOT killing a single BOB?

BOBs do nothing. They are just Easter eggs.

Are there any Bobs that don't disappear (besides the 2nd LNoS and Banshee Bobs)? Bobs are supposed to be better than your average Elite. If this is the case, they are essential to my purposes.

I think you mean ONI. On this level, Bob is clad in white rather than gold, and he spawns in one of two locations. I can't recall ever seeing him disappear, so after your post, I thought I would time him. I got bored waiting for him to disappear -- he just wouldn't leave. I seem to recall that someone claimed the Bob at the second spawn point disappears if you try to assassinate him, but I've not been able to reproduce this (and I have assassinated him). Has anyone else ever seen Bob on ONI disappear?

Yeah, I would call a thread with over 5,100 posts a failed thread.

Only because most of the posts are about the GRD helmet that was rumoured to have appeared in a Bungie employees armory on Bungie day 2010.

Anyway I agree with wolf. This thread needs to die as it serves no purpose now. We know what the bobs do, nothing. There is nothing more to discuss.

I almost forgot about that one.

There is one thing that could be done with Bobs: make them stay crouched permanently. Has anyone ever done that? It probably wouldn't stabilize their existence though...

The one in the courtyard when you fight the hunters in the garage (i.e. Field Marshal B.O.B.) doesn't despawn. The one in the Sword Base map portion does.
