I was able to one-shot the master with a good sniper build, but is it possible to kill the master immediately after leaving the vault, with no perks, extra skill points, or grind-gated gear? Yes. The answer is yes.
The setup for this is rather simple, since all the required gear can be easily obtained. If you noticed, my luck is 10 and I have outdoorsman tagged, which gives unique encounters a huge chance of occurring within certain grid squares on the map. That makes it fairly trivial to get the alien blaster, which is the best gun to use. I also have the one-hander trait and the skilled trait so I can use the blaster very effectively even at level 1. The tesla armor, which allows me to shrug off the master's lasers, can be found on the top level of the cathedral in a locked crate. The psychic nullifier can be looted from a prisoner in the LA vault.
These results are very reliable, it doesn't take much save scumming at all to kill him within 4 or 5 shots, I've even gotten him in 3 before. 2 is technically possible, but highly improbable.
