Tips To Kill Cable Guy Zombie
As the zombie you will be against is the Shocking Walker, you should know some tips on defeating it.
Shocking Walkers are immune to shock damage, but you can throw water at them to make them discharge their reserved electricity. This will take away their immunity.
As the Cable Guy zombie is surrounded by electrical appliances, make sure to lure it away so it is not able to take advantage of its environment.
With that done, you can go in for a melee attack, and landing a few good hits should do the job. Now you can loot it and get the Cable Guy van key.

After unlocking the Cable Van trunk, you will get the rare Electrocutor Tire Iron weapon and 100 coins. The Electrocutor Tire Iron has high damage stats, and its speed and agility are also quite good. Also, paired with the Rare Melee Electrocutor mod, its damage increases exponentially, and you also get damage over time when your attacks land successfully on targets.
To wrap up this guide, we discussed everything you should know about getting Dead Island 2 Cable Guy key. By opening the black van trunk, you can get your hands on the Electroctuor Tire Iron weapon, which is an excellent weapon to have early on in the game.
