BOBs usually take the form of gold-armored [[Sangheili Ranger]]s, but they have been known to take several forms, including white-armored Rangers or [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] with infinite boost. The white-armored BOBs always dual-wield [[plasma rifles]], regardless of rank. The gold-armored Ranger BOBs, on the other hand, have been seen with plasma rifles, [[plasma repeater]]s, [[concussion rifle]]s, [[fuel rod guns]], or [[energy sword]]s.  The BOBs' [[energy shields]] have the same strength of an [[Sangheili General|Elite General]].

The name "BOB" is a [[List of Marathon references in Halo|reference]] to [[Bungie]]'s ''[[Marathon]]'' video game series. All human [[NPC]]s in the series are known as [[w:c:marathongame:BOB|"BOBs"]]. "BOB" is an acronym for '''"Born on Board"''', a reference to the characters having spent their entire lives aboard the eponymous colony ship.

BOBs were first considered Easter eggs in ''Halo: Reach''. However, in 2015 it was revealed in the "Sangheili" article in the Universe section of [[Halo Waypoint]] that the gold-armored Ranger is indeed a canonical rank, the [[Sangheili Ranger Commander]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sangheili '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Sangheili'']</ref> The white BOBs may also be canonical to some extent, as the Sangheili use a complex color coding which has never been properly depicted in the games, for gameplay purposes.<ref>[http://www.haloarchive.com/forum/topic/9-canon-fodder-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=135198 '''Halo Archive''': ''Canon Fodder Thread'' GrimBrother One's first comment]</ref> For example, a white Zealot has made a canonical appearance in [[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|''Halo: Escalation'' Issue 15]].

===[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]===

**While looking for [[3 Charlie]], the player will find 3 different buildings, the first building is the one where the player cannot find 3 Charlie, it has 3 spawn point for the BOB, one for every small section of the place.

**The second building is located next to the river, it has 2 spawn points, one inside a basement with a broken wall and another next to the dead army troopers inside the building.

**The third building is located near the broken bridge, it has 2 spawn points, one on the dark building, next to the window, the other one is next to the dead civilians.

**Inside the base, on the fourth floor, a random armored White Elite can be found.

**A golden Elite ranger can be seen on the broken bridge where the dead militia is.

**When heading to the first [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|AA Cannon]], one can be found on the hill at the far left of the gun.

**After dropping down to the second AA gun location, a BOB can be found at the opposite side, near the Wraith. Although, the coding for this particular BOB doesn't trigger properly, and can only be spawned trough complex glitching.

**A pod with a BOB inside can land on 3 random places. The first one is in front of the facility, over the small hill; the second one in almost the same place, but it will land near the human barricades; and the third one will land next to the platform where the Wraith can be found.<ref name="friendship"/>

===[[The Package (level)|The Package]]===

**One will spawn at the far right of the area where a large battle is being fought under the UNSC Commonwealth, and is almost impossible to sprint where it is without getting it to despawn. The Spartan Laser found as you enter the area should be used.
