Tesla Coil?

I need an electric gun to defeat the pyro in Horno Island, apparently, so I've been looking for this "Tesla Coil" item I read on the internet, in order to craft an electric gun. I don't find any information about where is located.

So, I figured it out.

I have accidentally dropped the defibrillator on the ground (found in Horno Island after used by Dr. Millers to save Henry), then it showed as a gear box, I picked it up and Tesla Coil appeared.

In conclusion: Drop "Useless Defibrillator" = x1 Tesla Coil x1 Hardware box

I hope this comes useful to you as it was for me!

Glad to see you found your way.

But the real explanation for this is that *some* stuff gets dismantled when you drop it. So if you pick them again, you get the spare parts in the inventory, having to craft the previous item again if you dropped it by mistake.

The funny part is, you already had a Tesla Coil with you.

Yes! It took me some time to analyze what happened. I had no idea such thing could happen, nice to know. xD

It seemed like a mysterious item. I wouldn't find any information about it. :/

Hahaha, omg! I did get to figure out before killing, still took me some time because I later discovered, after like 1min of fighting him, that I needed to hold fire so it'd get him faster, instead of 1 shock at the time. XD

Later in the quests I got an achievement for killing "him" without an electric gun, but it was random men in another place, wearing the same suits as well, they die faster.

When I met the uh!-ah!-uh! grannies, I already had a triple boomerang reinforced with flint (can't remember if it was the gold version). 3 aimed hits are enough. This requires some timing, though.

I never bothered making those electric guns, apart of getting the related achievements, that is. Frying a given bunch of zombies, or something alike.

Hahaha, that boomerang is awesome, it's my main wep, I should make it golden. What character did you use? I liked Nina but I tried Abby first and kept playing with her.

I don't find that electric gun useful after that quest, not yet, it takes inventory space (which I need), but then I feel bad to get rid of it. Perhaps if I make an armor with tesla coil later, the wep would be cool to use. -shrugs-

Jack with two golden triple-boomerangs, and a golden special double-jerrycan chainsaw, for close encounters... XD
Nina for the flamethrower, Kenji for the crossbow (sp. with explosive arrows).

You know that you can play different campaigns and "borrow" the crafted weapons between characters, right?

The eletric gun really not so usefull beside the fact of frying zombies, but its very, very eficient to hunt animals, specially the fasters salamanders

Oh wow. I've only played with one character and I got three Golden weps so far (a Stabilized Carbon Long Bow Pulley, a Triple Sticks Cutting Boomerang & a Handmade Precision Riflenow)

I started few days ago, (even though I've watched a friend play some of the game before), I'm still discovering and learning things.

I tried to use it against a zombie deer, but it was so fast I think I didn't get to hurt it properly with it, but then it was kind of effective on the giant zombie boss, it set him on fire. It wasn't much damage as I expected but it looked cool. xD

Sorry about the quality, I don't have a decent gaming computer. xD

Yes, it would have been cooler seeing him shake while I shock him instead. xD
That Big Zombie Boss, I think I've killed 4 in different locations, no idea how they spawn, it seems to be related to quests, in order make it harder, like when you need to go somewhere specific.
