In Response To: Random BOB Information (Lord Friendship)


I've found the best way to take down BOBs on Legendary is the simple NOOB route.

:Close Quaters:
Two Plastma Pistal Charges to him causes a lot of damage to him. Follow it up with heavey AR fire or Plasma Rifle fire and a Melee. Assassinations work best though.

Practice the method on the Winter Cont.'s BOB that shows up at the mid point.

:Mid Range:
Getting two Plasma Shots on him is harder but not impossible. I suggest having your gun already charged right before he shows up and let him have it. Follow up with Plasma and Frag Grenades and heavy DMR and Plasma Pistol fire (not charged).

This method should help you with the level you are having issues with.

:Long Range:
This is by far the most difficult to accomplish and thus limits your weapon choices.
Start off with whatever longe range weapon you have in hand when you first see him. The Sniper Rifle works best. The Beam Rifle works as well but takes longer to bring down his shields. But at least you don't have to reload it. The Spartan Laser is useless unless you already have it in hand and charging. It takes two shots from it to bring down his shields. For long range BOBs try to juggle the Sniper Rifle, the Spartan Laser, and the DMR. But DON'T Jungle the Rifle at all. It's by far the best tool for the job. The SL is second choice and the DMR for clean up duty (final quick shots).

Practice Long Range on BoneYard

No matter the mission, ALWAYS aim for the head or chest. Head is best of course.
But you MUST act quickly. BOBs Always dissappear when they reach THEIR. time limit or checkpoint. Pay attention to how long they last and where they disappear at. For example: The Bone Yard BOB has a checkpoint. If he makes it inside at all (he spawns at the Scorpion Tank Spawn) then he dissapears. Sometimes right before he reaches it. ALL HITS you make to him will slow him down and by you time. The same goes for the BOBs with Time Limits.
If your BOB has a time limit attached to him, then it may seem the more he moves around, the faster he dissapears. The same accures to me as well. If all else fails, then plug in another controller and have a standby gunner if you run out of ammor. It also helps distract him.

Hope this helps. ;)
