Sorry for losing my cool guys, lets refocus and continue killing BOBS! Keep at it guys!

Has anyone just tried to get 77 BOB medals yet? If not I can try that...

  • 04.29.2011 10:19 PM PDT

If you're on tomorrow, then for sure!

I need a Legendary BOB kill on Lone Wolf, it's the most difficult thing to do in the campaign for sure. It gets crazy after 20 kills. At the 35 kill mark (well, in Easy at least) BOB will show up.

Yes, 77 BOB medals has been done. If the medals unlocks the helmet it might be a community based thing.

To: The Game1415 -- Kira Onime

I have been following this thread since day one. There are a lot of good ideas on all sides. Theories have been made and proved false. But, the two of you have gotten out of hand. Please stop personally attacking each other. Lets get back to the purpose of this thread and work together.

I'll hop on tomorrow, and we can see if we can find that god damn Brute on Exodus.

Zippy, I would LOVE to, but it's too late here. Almost 1:30 AM. :X

I might have to get up early tomorrow, I need some sleep!

Tomorrow we will tackle it Zippy, try and find us a GOOD fourth person to hold out with us.

Again, let's just refocus guys, and I won't argue with Kira, I will go back to ignoring he/she.

Under Kiras logic, no mystery could ever exist in the world unless it was based upon hard facts.

There is a helmet in Reach no one has. It's been in pictures, commented on by Bungie, and it's a largely popular topic on these forums. Bungie calls is BOB, there are BOBS in the campaign, Bungie wants us to kill the BOBS, as seen in the Elites kill descriptions and such. Bungie is helping us find them all via Daily Challenges (The New Alexandria one would have taken forever without this daily challenge.) These BOBS have very unique spawn locations, and they aren't random. They are triggered by players actions, time, and some have solid spawn locations based on difficulty and such. The BOB Helmet looks like the BOBS from Marathon. Marathon is a Bungie game. Security is from Marathon and it's in Reach.

Kira, can you not connect the dots here? Are you missing brain cells?

Also, I can state any of my theories any way I please. Otherwise, if I didn't state my theories as if they were facts, people would have no motivation and doubts and would not want to search for BOBS. You can't stop me from typing and stating things the way I want to, so stop wasting your time.

Matt, read my whole topic first then try arguing with me.

i did read your whole topic. i support your search, however i think that you need to state your theories as theories, not as fact. please keep searching, i hope you find something, but you need to give theories with just a little more proof if you are going to state them as fact. that is all. go on searching please,i support it. i have no clue as to how bungie could have hidden it but i believe it is possible that they could have and i hope that your search reaps results. jus dont go spouting false truths.

Hey, this is a good thread with a lot of good ideas and info regarding BOBs. I would suggest you stop this flame war before this thread gets locked and you get guys banned.

I agree completely.

I stayed up all night man ;) and okay ill see what i can do

  • 04.29.2011 10:23 PM PDT

Okay guys, I am going to bed!

Tomorrow I am putting in 2-5 hours of BOB theory busting.

Also, watch the second post of this topic. I am creating a list of BOB spawns on each mission for you all to assist me in killing them.

I typed a long response to Kira, and then hit backspace and deleted it all while in the dark. Oh well.

Kira, stop posting in here. Just like in real life you aren't wanted, and you are greatly hated. You constantly say the same things and you never make any sense.

97% of the people in here back my team up and what we do, you are in the 3%. You simply don't matter. :)


75% of the Bungie community is made out of 10-15 year olds that can't think for themselves and take anything they are thrown in the month.

And you have yet again dodged my simple little question for the 5th time.


And for your information, you don't even know me IRL nor my entourage.
Before trying to rise yourself up above others, start by actually replying to what is directed at you.



Here's an other story.

97% of people jumped off a bridge simply because others did it and followed.
The other 3% didn't because it was stupid.


People are like sheep and the farmer.
The farmer is the "leader" while the sheep are the mass public that need someone to tell them what to do.
Well I have an I.Q. of 154 making me smarter than 99.9% of people on the planet and I think you are both dumb. Zing! But I think the helmet for killing BOBs is a great concept.

77 by a single person?

  • 04.29.2011 10:24 PM PDT

Yes Mighty. I know of one guy who used to hunt BOBS like I do now, he had over 77 BOB medals with no results sadly. :(

And why do you think mysteries remain mysteries?
'Cause nobody can come up with anything solid about them.
As much as some can be quite captivating, they remain nothing but stories.


You can say "Bungie wants to us to kill them all".
You can also see it as a nice little marathon reference as there have been many before in the series.

As for New Alexandria.
Maybe people where thinking there weren't any BoBs on that level so Bungie made a challenge saying "hey look, there is"
Probably would of been found at some point but thats a guess since i cannot see parallel universes lol.

Do want to point out people called the helmet the "BoB helmet".
Perhaps bungie just followed up with it to avoid confusion idk.
Only Bungie could answer.

And just so you know, i think the helmet looks like an ugly son of a b..... i prefer Mark V by far lol.

Hey Kira i have to ask did you use witch twice just because i said something about it? If so i lol.

He's not contributing, or providing links proving us wrong, he just comes in, and basically calls everyone names and says dumb things.

Just pointing out you started on the name calling.
And my dumb things surely can't be as smart as "you're a troll gtfo" lol.



Anyways, enjoy the BoB hunt but do not expect a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
I'M going mountain hiking this week-end with a friend, should be fun :)

Can you come up with a full argument against the entire OP? I don't see why you're against this thread. This theory has more prons and cons, and holds a lot more water than most.

BTW, the way you quote things is confusing to respond to.

bobs are collectibles: true
bobs are reaches equivalent to skulls: almost definitely false, based on off the wall theories
bobs will unlock armour: again almost definitely false. do not state these things as truth
where in halo: 3 did you get these thing? just because the collectibles in halo: 3 gave you armour does not mean the ones in reach do. end of story, i support your search of some reward for doing this bob hunt, and if you want to go through with it more power to you. however dont suck others into it with hopes that you cant conclusively support


While i doubt killing the bobs will give you armor, considering how everything is based on Cr purchases.

BUT, I seriously think it's possible that something in the campaign will unlock the helmet in the armory, and then you can purchase it.

BOB's come from marathon. The members of the ships in that game were nicknamed BOB's because they were Born On Board. Now these yellow elites have been called BOB's and appear in every level but exodus. However a new helmet for spartans appeared in the defiant map pack trailer that looks identical to what BOB's in marathon had.
