Desert Rangers

Desert Rangers are a faction living east of California, in the Nevada area. They are desceded from people who survived the devastation when Great War happened, likely living among the badlands of Nevada. This small community kept a strong survivalist contingent -- so they still had some small arms and books. They probably had something like the cliff-dwelling Indians going on for their town. Tycho was one of the Desert Rangers.

Appearances in games
The only Desert Ranger ever to apper in the games is Tycho from the first Fallout.

Behind the scenes
Tycho being a Desert Ranger is a reference to Wasteland, a 1980s game which is considered to be Fallout's predecessor.
