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, with the Big Dill test pushing players to their limits. But it's not the only demanding quest on the horizon. 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 perfect for cracking open Vaults across the map. As an Epic item, it’s a bit elusive but definitely worth the hunt. Your best bet to find it is at 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 from two Black Markets around the map for 600 Gold.

While the Black Market south of Seaport City offers the item, the one near Magic Mosses is more convenient if you're planning to tackle the subsequent challenge at Joss’ lab to analyze your mineral samples.

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

Once you've acquired the Epic Plasma Burst Laser, your next step is to locate a suitable stone structure. Not all stones will yield the samples you need. The Escapist team found that hitting permanent stone structures won’t work. You need to find a destructible stone structure that you could break with your Pickaxe.

Once you've pinpointed your target, aim your Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and start firing. Keep shooting until the stone breaks apart. After it's destroyed, a small piece of rock containing the mineral samples will drop to the ground. You must interact with this piece to collect the samples and complete the Quest.

With the samples in hand, you won’t need to travel far to return to Joss’ lab. The game will guide you to the exact spot inside her lab where you need to go. Simply interact again to analyze the samples, earning you additional XP and completing the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. You can then resume your *Fortnite* adventures with your newly unlocked items.

That’s the full rundown on how to collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite* Chapter 6. Keep an eye out for more exciting challenges and rumored collaborations during the Lawless season.

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