The basis of the game is a post-apocalyptic and desert world, but which is located on the ruins of the United States. That's why the creators took everything literally and filmed Deserts and USA, the locations of the series are quite a lot, but all of them can be found in three geographical locations: Namibia (all desert scenes), New York City and surroundings (All city scenes) and Los Angeles (Selected iconic locations). Many scenes were filmed on location, but given the ENT of the series, many sets had to be built as well.
