"Look down there! We're close to the FOB we detected. You take out those... monsters... get me to that terminal... and I'll show what I can do."

FOB Golf is a UNSC Forward Operating Base (FOB) on the fragment sections of Installation 07 during the Battle for Zeta Halo.[1]

Operational historyEdit

Following the Banished's ambush on the UNSC Infinity upon its arrival at Installation 07 on December 12, 2559, UNSC forces made landfall on the ring.[2] While many survivors at the fragmented section of the ring gathered at the wreckage of the Mulsanne-class light frigate UNSC Mortal Reverie as a base of operations,[3] they also established Forward Operating Bases in nearby locations.[4] FOB Golf was located northeast of the Banished salvage and repair facility Ransom Keep, and southeast of Chak 'Lok's Tower.[1]

By March 3, 2560, FOB Golf was in Banished control,[4] with the Banished adding their own equipment and troops around the FOB.[1] The FOB was also connected to the Banished battle network protocol,[5] tracking nearby UNSC and Banished activity.[1] On May 28,[6] Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 came across FOB Golf while on his way to investigate a distress call from the Tower. At the urging of his artificial intelligence known as the Weapon, the Chief eliminated the Banished forces at the FOB and deployed the Weapon at the FOB's terminal. The Weapon removed the FOB from the Banished network, returning it to UNSC control. She then marked the nearby locations of interest on John-117's TACMAP, including Ransom Keep and Okro 'Vagaduun.[1]

GameplayEdit

"Let me see... Yes, I was right. All I need to do is chat with the Banished security protocol... and by chat I mean push it out of the way because it is really not smart and... there! We now have ourselves a second FOB."
— The Weapon to John-117 after recapturing the FOB.

FOB Golf becomes available in the "Lockdown" section of the Halo Infinite campaign. Its recapture is one of the main objectives in the mission Recovery.[1]
