The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are challenging, to say the least. The Big Dill challenge has already stirred up quite the excitement, but it's not the only tough quest you'll face. 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, introduced in the Lawless season, is essential for breaking into Vaults spread across the map. As an Epic item, it's not the easiest to find. Your best bet is to search Points of Interest (POIs) with Vaults, like Crime City, where you can find numerous Go Bags and Chests. Alternatively, two Black Markets on the map offer the Plasma Burst Laser for 600 Gold. While you can purchase it at the Black Market south of Seaport City, the one near Magic Mosses is more convenient as 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
Once you've acquired the Plasma Burst Laser, your next step is to find a suitable stone structure. Not just any piece of stone will do; you need one that can be destroyed. The Escapist found that hitting permanent stone structures didn't work. Instead, locate a breakable piece of stone that you could demolish with your Pickaxe.
With your target in sight, aim the Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and start firing. Keep at it until the stone breaks. Remember, the mineral samples won't automatically appear in your inventory. After the stone is destroyed, a small piece of rock will drop to the ground. You need to interact with this piece to collect the mineral samples and complete the Quest.
If you've followed these steps correctly, you won't need to travel far to return to Joss and analyze the samples. The game will guide you to the right spot inside her lab. Simply interact with the designated area, and you'll earn additional XP, successfully wrapping up the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. Now, you can continue enjoying *Fortnite* 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.*
