The Desert Rangers | Fallout Lore

In less than 2 hours the world was forever changed by The Great War.
The systems in place, the emergency services and government agencies that kept things running were mostly destroyed by nuclear fire which allowed humanities darker side to rear its ugly head.
But there were those who clung to the old ways. Those who wanted to prevent humanity from regressing altogether.
And one such group, a small band of survivors living in The Nevada Badlands, defied the odds and held back the savage new ways.
Once the bombs had finished falling and the fires had died Survivalists and Preppers left their shelters with a single goal in mind, to make The Wasteland a better place.
Inspired by The Texas Rangers, The Survivalists continued to uphold the law in a world where law no longer existed.
By killing raiders, slavers and cannibals they allowed new settlements to grow and those who didn’t try taking what they had or sought to place them in chains were allowed to join.
These newcomers were taught how to survive. They learned how to shoot, clean weapons and read maps along with a laundry list of other skills they would one day pass down to the next generation and in time they came to be known as The Desert Rangers.

The desert ranger armor brings up a question that has lived in the back of my head and it's does each of the 13 commonwealths that America becomes all have their own independent arms contracts which would explain why stuff like the assault rifle changes so much in between games

[@Chopstorm.]

I've heard that the assault rifle in 4 was actually supposed to be an lmg of sorts, but was changed late in development to be what we see today. That's why it's so radically different and looks the way it does.

It doesn't make sense why each fallou game guns look different than before. Fallout 1 and 2 has too many guns like Deagle, 6250, Waltz laser rifle 3000, Different sort of weapons but yet most of them don't exist in other fallout games.

[@MU-oi1su]

Since I didn't see it in the video or comments, the Desert Rangers actually came from the game Wasteland which later spawned the first Fallout game due to licensing issues or something silly. FNV's Desert Rangers were a nod to the OG Wasteland ones. A few short years later and two Wasteland sequels have been released (W3 is fantastic!) And we can all play as the Desert Rangers once more.

Its confirmed it was due to licensing reasons but lore and cannon reasons the Desert Rangers are from the same faction of Rangers like from the Wasteland universe, it wouldn't be any suprise if in the soon future the universes are connected

@@Lone_Wanderer138 I think it would have to be an alternate alternate timeline though because the bombs dropped pretty far apart. Fallout being 2077 and Wasteland being 1998. If they merged that is.

Imo New Vegas's Riot/Ranger Gear is one of the best outfits in fiction, it's just got everything. Aesthetics✔️ Practicality✔️ In-Game Viability✔️ In-Universe Reverence✔️ Recognizability✔️ Gotta love how you can start any playthrough by speedrunning to the start of Lonesome Road at Level 1 (Riot Gear can be obtained from the Commissary by selling the overvalued loot in the Missile Silo) or Level 4 (usually the earliest you can get Riot Gear as well Riot Shotgun for free by unlocking the Locker in the Barracks just outside the Missile Silo) then immediately leave to continue the game as normal.

[@manikpanik1337]

A piece of fallout equipment I'd love to see would be a full set of USMC body armor. Don't get me wrong, I love the look of the duster, but it would be cool to see a full set akin to the vanilla combat armor.

[@gloglablyn]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the marine armor designed for use in water? It would be appropriate considering that Marines were originally meant to fight at sea, hence the name. And since fallout loves retro-futurism, it would be likely that the us Marines of this setting became more sea combat oriented, especially since there has been no mention of Navy SEALS in the fallout setting.

[@manikpanik1337]

@falcon_by_the_lake that's one of my beefs with fallout 4, I just really don't like how chunky everything looks in that game.

[@manikpanik1337]

@@gloglablyn With the technology the US has in fallout, I can see this being a reality. There are some ballistic floatation vests irl but I imagine those aren't the best at both floatation and ballistic protection, but rather 'good enough' at both roles. If anything, the lightness of the armor would've definitely given the Marines an edge during the Gobi campaign. Going back to the lack of Seal Team mentions, I imagine in this case, the RAIDERS of WW2 being the stand in for Navy Seals.

[@HighMarshalSigismund]

@@gloglablynthe US Marines of today are an expeditionary force and as such are equipped to fight on land, air, or sea. This is seen by their presence on MEU assault ships, the multiple air wings, and the (obvious) multiple infantry divisions. Following this line of thought, the Marines of Fallout would likely have armor that would be similar in function, but more in line with the in game universe’s design elements

[@gloglablyn]

A compromise could be the assault armor being issued to marine raiders, while standard Marines could be issued the standard fallout combat armor with some slight changes to match their aesthetic.

[@shiny1556]

Continuing my comments relating to the OWB mod for Hearts of Iron, the Desert Rangers were once a independent faction (largely just a Wasteland reference) even though the game start happens past the Unification. However, with the Nevada rework, there is a schism in the Rangers and a Rogue Ranger carves a little statelet out in central Nevada. Assuming everything goes well within the campaign, this Rogue Ranger will overthrow California and create a new Desert Rangers. However, there is a path where the Rogue Ranger is defeated by a loyalist and the Rangers are reunified once more, albeit with most of Nevada being a NCR territory. Also within Old World Blues, we are shown whats in Baja. It is two large but fairly irrelevant Raider tribes, who only exist as early game expansionism currently.

[@heathdionne7717]

the Rogue Rangers are also based on the Arizona Rangers from the Wasteland series (a huge inspo for the original Fallout games). the leaders are from the Wasteland games, which is the most obvious connect. really fun faction to play as and build yourself up

I’ve been waiting for a new video! Thank God 😂 Also if possible can you do one on the Beast Lords. I know fallout tactics is kinda not canon but I think their interesting 😁

I always thought the NCR/Desert Rangers were the coolest, most bad-ass characters in the game.

[@tanksmeow2524]

I absolutely adore the rangers, probably my favorite faction in fallout

[@diegolujo3221]

My respects to the rangers, be the steel with them.

[@Gimlisbeard326]

Love the ties, with the Texas rangers. Plus that the original rangers were just Survivalists and preppers. Adds more into the frontier feel this faction gives

[@ericgriffin9892]

The desert rangers are the main force of wasteland and fallout is the spirtual successor because they couldn't get the rights to wasteland is that correct?

[@XJonAye]

The dessert rangers are what I must become

[@baked_beans_779]

W's in the chat for the Desert Raiders, making the Mojave a better place.

[@BigBoyz33]

They are my favorite looking armor in all the games, they look so iconic.

[@WhimsicalLittledawg]

Wow, I didn't know the Veteran Rangers had so much lore!

[@Rawsilver]

I really wish Microsoft would just make Obsidian and Bethesda work together to give a New Vegas or an NCR based Fallout.

[@SkyFly19853]

Oh... Ranger class from Elder Scrolls... 😏
