Fortnite Chapter 6: Collect Mineral Samples with Plasma Burst Laser

The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are designed to test the mettle of even the most seasoned players. The Big Dill challenge has already stirred up excitement, but there are more challenging quests to come. Here’s a detailed guide on how to collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite*.

How To Find the Plasma Burst Laser in Fortnite

The Plasma Burst Laser, a new addition to the Lawless season, is crucial for breaking into the Vaults scattered across the map. As an Epic item, it's not easy to find, but your best bet is to search Points of Interest (POIs) with Vaults. Crime City is a hotspot, offering plenty of Go Bags and Chests where you might stumble upon this coveted item. Alternatively, two Black Markets on the map sell the Plasma Burst Laser for 600 Gold. While the Black Market south of Seaport City is an option, the one near Magic Mosses is more strategic, given that the next part of the challenge requires you to return to Joss' lab.

How To Collect Mineral Samples Using the Plasma Burst Laser on Stone Structures in Fortnite

Once you've secured your Plasma Burst Laser, the next step is to find a suitable stone structure. Not all stones will suffice; you need one that can be destroyed. Our team at The Escapist discovered that hitting permanent stone structures won't yield any samples. Instead, locate a destructible piece of stone that you can break with your Pickaxe.

With your target in sight, aim the Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and fire away. The stone will eventually crumble, but don't expect the mineral samples to appear in your inventory automatically. A small piece of rock will drop to the ground once the stone is destroyed. You'll need to interact with this rock to collect the mineral samples and complete the Quest.

After collecting the samples, you won't have to travel far to return to Joss' lab. The game will guide you to the exact spot within the lab where you need to go. Interact with the designated area to analyze the samples, and you'll be rewarded with additional XP, marking the completion of the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. From there, you can dive back into the world of *Fortnite* and flaunt your newly unlocked items.

And that's how you collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For those eager for more, keep an eye out for all the rumored collaborations in the Lawless season.

*Fortnite is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.*
