The '''BOB''' is a special type of enemy encountered in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The BOBs usually take the form of yellow/gold-armored [[Sangheili Ranger]]s. In the [[ONI: Sword Base]] level, BOBs take the form of a white-armored Elite with randomly generated armor, ranging from [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]] to [[Sangheili Field Marshall|Field Marshall]]. These white-armored BOBs always dual-wield [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifles]], regardless of rank. The yellow/gold-armored Ranger class BOBs, on the other hand, have been seen with Plasma Rifles, Plasma Repeaters, Concussion Rifles, Fuel Rod Guns, and even Energy Swords.

==Description==
==Description==
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. When the limit is reached, the BOB activates [[Active Camouflage]] and disappears completely.
Killing one of the BOB's will reward the player the "[[Seek and Destroy Medal|Seek and Destroy]]" medal.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Game Stats''</ref> However, the medal can only be viewed on [[Bungie.net]]. In the post-game carnage report, the BOB is referred to as a "Elite light vehicle". On Bungie.net, their description is simply "Wipe them out."
