Behind the scenes

 * Slayer in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel shares the same Vault Boy image as Better Criticals of Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.
 * The Vault Boy image of Slayer in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas is a reference to the 1982 action-adventure fantasy film Conan the Barbarian.
 * The perk was given its name because Chris Jones was a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
