Lady Killer

Black Widow or Lady Killer (depending on the player character's gender) are perks in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout 3
In combat, you do +10% damage against opponents of the opposite sex. Outside of combat, you'll sometimes have access to unique dialogue options when dealing with the opposite sex, similar to the Sex Appeal Trait. Both perk images feature a female character who can be construed as analogous to Vault Boy.

Black Widow

 * You can use this perk on Paulson when you first meet him onboard Mothership Zeta. He will tell you why he wants revenge.

Lady Killer

 * Brianna in the Blood Ties quest will provide you with the password to Ian West's cell.


 * You can talk the AntAgonizer into stopping her attacks on the town and ending her feud with the Mechanist. You also get her costume.


 * You can talk Fantasia into stealing Dukov's key for the You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head quest. It is possible to do this without the perk though, but Lady Killer eliminates the possibility of a Speech check failure.


 * You can talk Agatha into giving you ammunition to help you during the Agatha's Song quest.
