Fortnite Chapter 6: Collecting Mineral Samples with Plasma Burst Laser

The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are a thrilling challenge that tests the mettle of every player. The Big Dill challenge is just the beginning, and now it's time to tackle the task of collecting mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite*. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this exciting quest.

How To Find the Plasma Burst Laser in Fortnite

The Plasma Burst Laser, a new addition to the Lawless season, is essential for breaking into Vaults 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, like Crime City, which is packed with Go Bags and Chests. Alternatively, you can purchase the Plasma Burst Laser at two Black Markets for 600 Gold each. The Black Market south of Seaport City is an option, but the one near Magic Mosses is more convenient, as it's closer to Joss' lab where you'll need to analyze the mineral samples later.

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

Once you've secured your Plasma Burst Laser, your next step is to find a suitable stone structure. Not just any stone will do; you need one that can be destroyed. The Escapist's attempts to use permanent stone structures were unsuccessful, so you'll need to locate a breakable piece of stone that you could also destroy with your Pickaxe.

With your target in sight, aim the Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and fire away. Keep shooting until the stone breaks apart. Don't expect the mineral samples to magically appear in your inventory; instead, look for a small piece of rock that will drop to the ground once the stone is destroyed. 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 reach Joss' lab. The game will guide you to the exact spot inside the lab where you need to go. Interact with the designated area to analyze the samples, earning you additional XP and completing the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. With this done, you can return to your regular *Fortnite* gameplay and flaunt your newly unlocked items.

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

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