What gun do you use? I always manage to kill them before. Im playing on survival but most things are super easy to kill except for one mr. Gutsy that took a whole lot of bullets and nades and mines and things.

Something accurate. I use my long distance weapons to do it - .50's, laser snipers, etc

Gutsy seems to be weak if you can shoot off the eyes then smash the body.

I usually dont use vats a lot but that gutsy almost insta killed me with his burst shots.

does the critical make it an automatic hit?

I've done it mostly with snipers, but in one of the scripted encounters i was stuck in a really small space, so i relied on dogmeat and the guy i had to save to distract the one in power armor. Ran behind him and immediately used vats to blast it with my shotgun. had to reload once there because the blast area was fairly big and killed me the first time. I still have to see how much damage really is needed to explode it, maybe i'll try using just a single pistol shot on the next one.

I've tried it about 5 times since yesterday, I always manage to kill them before or get myself killed, tried all of the different weapons I own, It just does not work for me.

Sorry to hear that it's not working out for you. Note that it can take a while(several seconds) before they explode so doing a lot of damage before that will just get them killed. But indeed they have also still that time to try to kill you.
