沙漠游骑兵是一个活跃于加州东部、内华达地区的组织，不过在锡安峡谷以及亚利桑那地区也有他们出没的踪迹。
背景[]
这个组织从大战前就已经存在，直到2271年他们加入NCR游骑兵部队。虽然只是一个小团体，但他们拥有相当数量的轻武器以及战前书籍，这足以让他们在废土上活下去。在22世纪早期，他们在拉斯维加斯的废墟上与一个部落帮派的首领起了冲突。从那之后，他们为了保护那些居住在各个城镇的人们而与诸如白腿等部落、超级变种人等敌人接连交战。随后，他们在亚利桑那地区与凯撒军团进行了接触，并且毫无悬念地发生了战斗。面对凯撒军团的大举进攻，沙漠游骑兵们的处境不容乐观。幸好在2271年，新加州共和国的游骑兵们也来到了莫哈维废土。沙漠游骑兵们与新加州共和国签订了《游骑兵联合宣言》，成为NCR游骑兵部队的一部分，以换取NCR对胡佛大坝以及内华达的保护。莫哈维前哨站的纪念碑和巨型雕像都是为了纪念这一历史性的时刻。尽管整个组织已经被NCR吸收，但仍有不少人确信依然有一些沙漠游骑兵游荡在废土上，继续着他们除暴安良惩强扶弱的事业。
Appearances[]
In Fallout, Tycho mentions that his grandfather was a Desert Ranger, and that his grandfather taught him and his father those survival skills.
In Fallout: New Vegas, there is a monument at the entrance of the "Mojave Outpost" that depicts a Desert Ranger and NCR Ranger shaking hands, representing the pact between the two groups. Veteran Rangers bear a nearly identical appearance to Desert Rangers, suggesting that many of those in their ranks could be former Desert Rangers.
In Honest Hearts, a suit of Desert Ranger combat armor can be found in Stone Bones Cave.
幕后[]
- 沙漠游骑兵是向荒野游侠致敬，这款深深影响Fallout的游戏里正是以沙漠游骑兵为主角。
- Some background information about the Desert Rangers presented in this article comes from Jesse Heinig interviewed in the Fallout Bible 9, who designed Tycho of Fallout.
