Fortnite Chapter 6: Collect Mineral Samples with Plasma Burst Laser - How-to Guide

The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are designed for fearless players ready to take on a challenge. The Big Dill mission is already causing quite the buzz, but it’s far from the only tough task ahead. If you're looking to complete one of the more unique objectives—collecting mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser—this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

How To Find the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite*

The Plasma Burst Laser is one of the standout additions in *Fortnite*’s Lawless season. As an Epic rarity item, it’s not something you’ll find lying around just anywhere. This weapon shines when it comes to breaking into Vaults scattered across the map. Your best bet for finding one is to visit Points of Interest (POIs) known for containing Vaults, such as Crime City, where Go Bags and Chests frequently spawn.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Plasma Burst Laser from select Black Markets for 600 Gold. While there’s a vendor located south of Seaport City, the one near Magic Mosses may be more convenient—especially since your next steps involve heading back to Joss’ lab for sample analysis.

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

Once you’ve secured the Plasma Burst Laser, it’s time to locate a destructible stone structure. It’s important to note that not all stone objects qualify. Permanent rock formations won’t work—only those that can be destroyed with your Pickaxe are valid targets for this quest objective.

When you find a suitable stone, aim your Plasma Burst Laser and fire away. The structure will eventually break apart, though the mineral samples won’t immediately appear in your inventory. Instead, a small rock fragment will drop to the ground. You must interact with this object directly to collect the sample and progress in the mission.

Once collected, you won’t have to travel far if you grabbed the weapon from the Magic Mosses Black Market. Simply return to Joss’ lab, follow the on-screen prompts inside, and analyze the samples. Doing so grants additional XP and completes the final step of the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. Afterward, you’re free to jump back into the action and enjoy your newly unlocked rewards.

And that’s it—you now know how to successfully collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For more updates and insights, stay tuned for future guides and patch notes.
