Author : Lillian Update : Apr 04,2025

The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are designed for the bold and the brave. Among them, the Big Dill challenge is driving players wild, but it's just the beginning of a series of demanding tasks. Here’s your 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 your key to cracking open 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 strategic, 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

Mineral Samples as part of an article about how to collect them using the Plasma Burst Rifle in Fortnite.Once you've secured your Epic weapon, your next step is to find a suitable stone structure. Not just any stone will suffice; you need one that can be destroyed. The Escapist's attempt to target a permanent stone structure in *Fortnite* yielded no results. You'll need to locate a breakable piece of stone, something you could shatter with your Pickaxe.

With your target in sight, aim the Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and fire away. Keep at it until the stone crumbles. Don't expect the mineral samples to magically appear in your inventory; instead, a small piece of rock will drop to the ground. You must interact with this rock to collect the samples and complete the Quest.

If you've followed these steps correctly, you won't have to venture far to return to Joss and analyze the samples. The game will guide you to the right spot inside her lab. Once you interact with the designated area, you'll earn additional XP and successfully wrap up the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. Then, you can dive back into the world of *Fortnite*, flaunting your newly unlocked items.

And that's the complete guide on how to collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite* Chapter 6. For more excitement, check out the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.

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