Didn't you need better criticals for those?

Probably.

, but I never started getting the Instant Death criticals until after I got Sniper/Slayer.

Sniper is a great perk... but bonus RoF combined with two levels of Action Boy is so much better... three aimed shots is always nice...
Actually, I usually got the insta-death critical regardless of whether or not I had better criticals or slayer or sniper... this was most apparent in the New Reno boxing ring when I killed all of my opponents after hitting them several times in the head...
Anyhow, I think having all three skills will make it easier to get the insta-death skill... and targeted attacks make things easier still...

Very rare though... usually happens when hit by a burst, in my experience... but targeted shots are highly more satisfying... shooting people in the groin never gets old...

I can't seem to get sniper perk to work as intended. i did a quick test by replacing prefab1 with a char with sniper and 10 LK. i tested using small guns, but i didn't raise small guns past the required 80%. then i tested shooting; i scored normal hits ..

unless a margin for failure even with 10 LK still exists?

To me it seems like the game would be pretty boring if you just killed everything in one hit.

Deal with the Legendary Deathclaw and the suspense will have you desiring that sense of sercurity. Thing is a beast, sneak crit headshots are your best friend against it
