Killing one of the BOBs will reward the player the "Seek and Destroy" medal.[1] However, the medal can only be viewed on Bungie.net. In the post-game carnage report, the BOB is referred to as a "light Elite vehicle". On Bungie.net, their description is simply "Wipe them out."

The name "BOB" is a reference to Bungie's Marathon video game series. In the series, all of the encountered human characters, besides the player, are known as "BOBs". "BOB" is an acronym for "Born on Board", a reference to the characters having been born onboard the titular colony ship.

Trivia

  • Each BOB has a set time limit before it vanishes. For some BOBs, this time frame begins as soon as it is alerted to the player's presence. For others, the countdown begins once the player enters a certain area, thus it is possible for the player to miss the BOB entirely if it is not spotted.
