A Fallout Fan Has Figured Out Where The TV Show's Brotherhood Of Steel Is Based

Fallout's popular TV show is full of mysteries that the show doesn't really explain, ranging from who actually dropped the first atomic bomb, to what the heck the Snake Oil Salesman's serum actually is. Another mystery that the Fallout TV show throws up is the location of the Brotherhood of Steel's headquarters, but one fan thinks they may have figured it out.

The shot in question is during the scene that sees several Brotherhood of Steel soldiers standing in a line while a priest walks by them swinging incense, which we know was filmed in the Salt Flats in Utah.

Of course, we know that the show is set in California, so Ranger_Houston has done their best to try and find a location within California that is similar to the Salt Flats, and El Mirage Lake looks like the most likely candidate. It's a very barren stretch of the state, with very little besides airports in the immediate vicinty, which would be perfect for the chapter's airship, which may or may not be the Prydwen.

However, it should be worth noting that Ranger_Houstone only points to the Google Maps marker for El Mirage Lake, so it's entirely possible that the Brotherhood could be stationed anywhere in that swathe of desert. Thankfully, the El Mirage Lake is home to the Edwards Air Force Base, which is a rather large and complex military base that would be perfect for Brotherhood occupation.

It could be a very funny coincidence, especially since a company of that name features in the Fallout series, but we do know how much the Brotherhood
