Slayer

 is a perk available in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout Tactics, J.E. Sawyer's Fallout Role-Playing Game, Lionheart, and a Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel skill (skills in this game work like perks do in other Fallout games).

Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics
The Slayer walks the earth! With a successful Luck roll, all of your hits in hand-to-hand combat are upgraded to critical hits - causing destruction and mayhem.

Fallout: New Vegas
The perk increases the speed of all melee and unarmed attacks by 30%. Note that completely barehanded (no weapon at all equipped) swings will still be at a normal swing speed and unaffected by this perk. This may or may not be patched in the future. This perk does not affect Action Point Costs. However the increased speed does cause VATS attacks to execute faster thus reducing the amount of time that the player will be "locked" in VATS sequences where they are left vulnerable.

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
Each level of this skill increases your Critical Chance for +5% (up to a maximum +25) when attacking a target.

Behind the scenes

J.E. Sawyer's Fallout Role-Playing Game
The slayer walks the Wasteland! When using unarmed attacks, your successful attack rolls are increased by 30 for purposes of determining critical hit results.

Behind the scenes

 * 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.
