Unarmed bug or what?

Zebigbos

First time out of the vault
I'm starting a new char in Fallout 2, and this time i'm spesializing in unarmed combat. And thats cool and all...

But i don't get this; In some way or another, i managed to kill Keeng Ra'at (the rat god) in Klamath with only one single strike to its eyes! :shock: This would'nt be so strange if i was a high lvl char, but i was only lvl 3 or 4 or something, making only 3 pts of damage to the rat. And still it was sent 'to the grat ratcatcher in the sky' or whatever...

Then just after, i killed a mole rat in just the same way; Hit its eyes for 5 pts of dmg, and it died!

I've never done anything like this with any ranged weapon before, so what is this? If this is one of the advantages of beeing unarmed, then i surtanly won't be running around with big, heavy weapons anymore :P

But could this be a bug or something? The game is patched (US v 1.02), and is working fine.
 
Nope, these are instant-kill attacks. They happen with ranged weapons too. Aim for the eyes or head and there's a small change the victim will just die. It can even happen with unaimed shots or shots to the limbs, but it happens less.
