The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are a thrilling challenge for players. The Big Dill challenge has already stirred up excitement, but there's more 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 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, especially since the next challenge requires you to return to Joss' lab to analyze the mineral samples.

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 acquired the Plasma Burst Laser, your next task is to find a suitable stone structure. Not just any stone will suffice; you need one that can be destroyed. The Escapist discovered that permanent stone structures won't yield mineral samples. Instead, you must locate a breakable piece of stone that you could also destroy with your Pickaxe.

Once you've found the right spot, aim your Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and fire away. The stone will eventually shatter, but don't expect the mineral samples to appear in your inventory automatically. A small piece of rock will drop to the ground after the stone is destroyed, and you'll need to interact with it to complete the Quest.

If you've followed these steps correctly, you won't have to travel far to return to Joss and analyze the samples. The game will guide you to the specific location inside her lab where you need to go. After interacting with the designated spot, you'll earn additional XP and complete the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. You can then resume playing *Fortnite* as usual 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 exciting content, check out all the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.
