Ive been running through the arena up to killing bullseye like 6 times now and I just can't get it.  I've avoided all names but for the weapon-based ones, and I've been very carefully tracking how many kills with each weapon.  Two runs in a row Ive had exactly the same kills with sword and knife when I beat bullseye, and I made sure there were no secondary electroshock kills, and yet I get "savage mangler" each time, which is the knife name. 

edit:  ...unless it doesn't count as a weapon kill if the energy portion of the weapon does the kill? 
edit 2:  doesnt seem to be the case; did it again with no power in my weapons and this time I got chop

This is a huge maybe - get out of combat by restealth when enemy is at low health and kill everything using incap/stun + gas grenade + poison caltrops.

Just a guess after looking at wiki, did not try it. Seems like every damage dealing option is excluded except environmental sources and non-grenade utilities. It means this should work:

- (poisoned) throwing knives
- (poisoned) caltrops
- fire ground (exothermic aura)
- gas clouds from grenades

Two last options may work (despite being psi/grenade) since they are not dealing damage themselves, rather they create environmental effect that does the kill. But that's wild guess obviously.

Yeah, I can try that.  Wound enemies without killing them and doing some CC so the other fighters can mop up, then *mostly* killing the two gladiators before finishing them off with t knives or something.

I always thought of the last name as a backup in case something went wrong...

This. :)
