Subject: Anyone know why bob doesn't show up on W.C anymore ?

I went to do my daily challenge (kill a bob) on winter contingency as I usually would,and for some reason,he doesn't show up,on normal he did,but not on heroic or legendary,tried several times. Did 343 take it out somehow because it is the easiest one to kill ?

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

I did it earlier, it does show up.

Some users on this forum have reported that they have killed them all into extinction and the challenge cannot be completed. Could it be true?

Yes he does, but will admit, not very often, as my first 'BOB' kill was on W.C. on Normal, in the room with the Data Pad.

Actually it's not just Winter Contingency, but pretty much every level except for Sword Base. I've been at this challenge for almost 3 hours and still couldn't find one, no matter what difficulty I choose. What's the deal here?

It doesn't matter anyway, I only had to kill the White "Insert Elite armour here" BoB on Sword Base to get the challenge done.

Both bobs are showing up for me ... which one you missing?

The first one who runs off just after you jump off the falcon is easy enough to see ... the second one is quick and you tend to watch the visible guy (this is the bob on the roof top - just before the first grunt stage, when you hear the "what was that" steps pounding above).

Or do you mean the gold elite - down by the second settlement (the building in the valley/across the bridge)?
Often if he doesnt charge the bridge you can find him up the "road" just around the next corner.


Actually there are three BOBs in WC.

Both of those aren't BoB's.

We Surround Them!

1. The challenge was kill BoB on HEROIC or harder.

2. I completed the challenge after only one mission restart on Winter Contingency. I started from Rally Point Alpha and drove the course to the right ALL the time. The trick is STAY TO THE RIGHT whenever presented with a new direction and you'll find BoB in one of 3 places.

3. First time through he never showed. I restarted the mission and there he was, near the 3rd location where BoB usually is (along the cliffside running towards you away from the Marines and the dropship landing area near the river). Ran him over easily in the Truck.

4. Did this same challenge then later the same night for 2 friends. First time through we had 4 re-starts and no BoB so we quit and restarted the game. BoB showed up - one friend splattered him - we ended the game. Then we restarted the same mission again for the other friend to earn it and he got it right away using ARs from myself, my friend who just earned it a bit earlier, and the final shots coming from the friend who needed it.

Long and short of it - 4 games - 3 BoBs killed -- all on Heroic and on Winter Contingency. He does show ... sometimes it just takes a few restarts.
