Talk:BOB

Appearances?

So, where do these yellow armored Rangers appear? And is it difficulty specific? Matt 2108 23:15, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

This link provides some hints.- 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 23:18, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hold on, how do you know that the Yellow Rangers are actually BOBs? Does it say at any point in the game that they are?

Killing a BOB will allow you to earn a 'Ranger' medal which can only be viewed on Bungie.net. There is a small heading on it that says 'BOB'. That is where its name comes from. --Mmm... Jackal Stew 07:06, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Only Ranger Armor?

I've noticed that not all of the Seek and Destroy medals I've been getting on B.net are for the gold-armored Rangers. In fact, the only gold-armored Rangers I've seen were on the Corvette's bridge. One I thing I have noticed though are special silver armored Elites with random armor permutations. The most obvious ones are on Sword Base: the first is to the left of the garage where you fight Hunters (Heroic and Legendary); the second is inside, on the floor below where the General spawns (Easy and Normal). I've seen these Elites have Ultra, Field Marshall, Zealot, and Ranger armor, but they've all had pure silver armor and dual Plasma Rifles. More importantly, they have all counted as BOB kills. Has anyone else noticed this? Captain Baird ^Comm-Link_{Service Record} 03:01, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

I have also encountered a BOB that was not a Ranger. Rather it was a Minor, inside Sword Base when you are heading to Emile. It was just a white armored Minor. Spartan 112 16:19, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yes. On ONI Sword Base, some BOBs show up as white elites dual wielding plasma rifle's with varying rank armour. so If you see a page making a comment about a super rare white zealot or something simaler, please change it Jabberwock xeno 22:04, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

On ONI Sword Base (Normal) I have run into BOB Minors, Officers, and Zealots (Not Marshall). All of them have pure white armor and duel wield Plasma Rifles, and are always located underneath the platform the General with the Concussion Rifle/Fuel Rod Gun (just before you help out Emile with the Banshees). I've also encountered at least one Gold Ranger on every level, including Lone Wolf. I've never noted Ranger BOBs disappearing, but I've seen it happen many times with the white ones. My question is, are white BOBs on any level besides Sword Base? Also, do white Ranger BOBs and/or BOB Ultras exist? I've played through campaign on Heroic and haven't seen any whatsoever besides the ones mentioned above. If they do exist, do they only appear on Legendary?One who survived 00:50, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Escuse me, but what makes these elites "BOBs" in the first place? They are just a special variety of elite, there's not reason to call them BOBs like in Marathon.Nazzer 16:08, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps bungie put up a post or something about these BOBs

If you know you've killed a BOB, on Bungie.net, if you look your kills by enemy, you'll see they're listed as "Elite Rangers" with their classification underneath saying "BOB". KRZYBCH 15:39, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Legendary Ending Correlation?

I've found theories elsewhere online that killing all of the BOBs in a single playthrough would unlock the Legendary Ending.... Has anyone else heard/seen/agree with this? KRZYBCH 17:14, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Well now, it's called the Legendary Ending for a reason, don't ya think? I mean, otherwise they would call it the BOB Ending. Echo-77 00:57, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Is that Elite on the top a BOB?

That one shouldn't be, because it doesn't have a duel-wield. Someone should delete that... File:If they came to hear me beg.png Lt. Agreon^Talk 20:30, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

The duel-wielding, white-armored BOBs only appear on ONI: Sword Base. In all other levels the BOBs are gold-armored Rangers. Reading is fundamental. Matt 2108 20:41, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Long night of solace BOB?

Is the yellow ranger sangheili on the bridge of the corvette, in the 'Long night of solace' mission, counted as a BOB? because I have never got a medal for killing it, but I've never actually looked!
