This achievement is for 100 total kills with caustic, fire, or shock. Not 100 for one specific elemental. Can be 50 shock, 25 fire, 25 caustic or anything that equals 100 to clarify. There are several ways to get elemental kills but I listed some easy ways to help you unlock this quickly.
-Use Meat Bait to trick zombies to walk into shock traps.
-Get zombies to follow you through caustic barrels, fire, shock pools.
-Shoot caustic, fire, shock barrels when zombies are near them.
-Equip mods to melee weapons (make sure the elemental damage kills them though)
-Use the jugs in the environment to spread fire, shock.
-Some zombies such as shocker walker will damage other zombies so kill them near other zombies.
You can track how many of each you have under combat challenges in the player menu.
Check out my video guide if you need more help but this should unlock naturally by just playing the game.

A surefire way to bag this is to add different mods to your weapons, making sure to have at least one caustic weapon, one fire weapon, and one shock weapon in your arsenal. Then, it’s simply a case of cycling through each weapon regularly, repairing and level matching them at workbenches to ensure they stay effective. Breaking green (caustic) and red (fire) barrels will help deal relevant damage to enemies, too, as will bursting blue water barrels near to exposed electrical cables. Like a lot of Dead Island 2’s trophies, this will probably come over time with very little effort.
