==Description==
==Description==
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]].

Each BOB remains in-game for a limited time before vanishing. 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.
