Magical Elites and Magical Numbers

I have some other Easter Eggs dealing with some sneaky Elites! Some disappearing Bobs and Invisible Elites. There are also some spots with Bungie’s famous attraction towards the number 7 and 117.

The "Golden Elites" or Elite Rangers (affectionately named "Bob") are Elites with yellow armor and blue helmet visors. They appear in some levels but then quickly vanish into thin air if you don't kill them. You get a medal for killing Bobs called "Seek and Destroy." Nothing else is known about them. Here are some of the locations where you'll find Bob. On the Winter Contingency, quickly make your way through the level and you will randomly encounter the Bob; he usually he appears during the part of the mission where you're driving around looking for the stranded marines. (He appears on both Legendary and Normal difficulty, but he seems to show up in different areas). On Bungie.net he will show up in your statistics as one of the types of enemies you've killed. In the stats section, it lists him as an Elite Ranger, and actually says his name is "Bob”. In Nightfall  where you meet up with the colonists fighting a pack of Covenant, this Elite appears -- and quickly disappears -- amongst the buildings. In the Package  once you enter the gate to Oni Sword Base (Rally Point Alpha), quickly head up the ramp and look to the left to spot the Elite. It's in the courtyard area where you meet up with Noble Team before heading into Sword Base. In the Pillar of Autumn after the cave you'll come across two massive buildings in a valley. The second building you come to a garage at one end (to the right when facing it). Inside the garage you'll find Bob.  Happy Hunting.

At the start of the first level on legendary, as your running towards the distress signal, you can vaguely see a camouflaged elite running off into the distance towards your right, if you manage to kill it, there is a data pad which you can pick up that contains information about the covenants ability to "glass" planets.

The number 7- Bungie’s one and only true love... besides 117 (a reference to Master Chiefs Spartan Number). They both appear multiple times throughout the game.
*The price of a Moa burger is $7.77.
*At the end of the credits a golden 7 will light up in the background.
*The number of bullets in the AR in the level Noble Actual: 7.
*The number 7 is in the sky in the trailer for the game.
*The trailer is 1 minute 17 seconds long.
*In the manual you get with the game on page 17 next to the “C“ defense point you will see a 117 indicating it is 117 meters away.
