Fortnite Chapter 6: Collecting Mineral Samples with Plasma Burst Laser

The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are challenging, to say the least. The Big Dill challenge has players buzzing, but that's just the beginning. Let's dive into how you can 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 in the Lawless season, is essential for cracking open Vaults spread across the map. As an Epic item, it's not exactly common. Your best bet is to check out Points of Interest (POIs) with Vaults, like Crime City, where you'll find plenty of Go Bags and Chests. Alternatively, two Black Markets on the map offer the Plasma Burst Laser for 600 Gold. The Black Market near Magic Mosses is particularly convenient, as the next part of the challenge requires a trip back to Joss' lab.

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

Once you've got your hands on the Plasma Burst Laser, the next step is finding a suitable stone structure. Not just any stone will cut it; it needs to be one you can destroy. The Escapist team discovered that hitting permanent stone structures won't yield any samples. Instead, look for a breakable piece of stone that you could take down with your Pickaxe.

When you've found the right spot, aim your Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and fire away. The structure will eventually crumble, but don't expect the mineral samples to magically appear in your inventory. A small piece of rock will drop to the ground once the stone is destroyed. You'll need to interact with this piece to collect the samples and complete the Quest.

With the samples in hand, you shouldn't have far to go to return to Joss and analyze them. The game will guide you to the right spot inside her lab. A simple press of the interact button will not only complete the Quest but also reward you with additional XP, wrapping up the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. You can then jump back into *Fortnite* and flaunt your new unlocks.

And there you have it—how to collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite* Chapter 6. For those eager for more, 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.
