Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering Mineral Collection with the Plasma Burst Laser

The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are designed for the bold and the brave. The Big Dill challenge is just the beginning of a series of demanding tasks, and one that's got everyone buzzing is the challenge to collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser. Here's a detailed guide on how to do just that in *Fortnite*.

How To Find the Plasma Burst Laser in Fortnite

The Plasma Burst Laser, an exciting new addition to the Lawless season, is your key to accessing Vaults spread across the map. As an Epic item, it's not something you'll stumble upon easily. Your best bet is to search Points of Interest (POIs) that have Vaults, like Crime City, where you can find it in Go Bags or Chests. Alternatively, you can purchase the Plasma Burst Laser from the Black Markets on the map; they're available for 600 Gold. While you could opt for the Black Market south of Seaport City, the one near Magic Mosses is more strategic, given that your next step involves heading back 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 secured your Plasma Burst Laser, your next task is to find a suitable stone structure. Not just any stone will do; you need one that can be destroyed. The Escapist's attempts on permanent stone structures were fruitless, confirming that you need a breakable piece of stone. Use your Pickaxe to identify a suitable target.

With your target in sight, aim the Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and keep firing until it breaks apart. Remember, the mineral samples won't automatically enter your inventory. Instead, a small piece of rock will drop to the ground after the structure is destroyed. 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 exact spot within her lab. After interacting with the designated area, you'll earn additional XP and successfully conclude the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. Now, you can resume your *Fortnite* adventures, flaunting 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, keep an eye out for all the rumored collaborations coming up in the Lawless season.

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