How To Collect Mineral Samples Using the Plasma Burst Laser in Fortnite Chapter 6

The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are challenging, and the Big Dill quest is just one of many tough challenges players face. 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 item introduced in the Lawless season, is essential for breaking into Vaults scattered across the map. As an Epic item, it's not easy to find. Your best bet is to search Points of Interest (POIs) with Vaults, such as Crime City, which is packed with Go Bags and Chests. Alternatively, you can purchase the Plasma Burst Laser at two Black Markets on the map for 600 Gold. While the Black Market south of Seaport City is an option, the one near Magic Mosses is more convenient, given 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 secured the Plasma Burst Laser, your next step is to find a suitable stone structure. Not just any stone will do; you need a destructible stone structure. The Escapist found that hitting permanent stone structures didn't work. Instead, you need a piece of stone that can be broken with your Pickaxe.

After locating the right stone, aim your Plasma Burst Laser at it and fire away until it breaks. Don't expect the mineral samples to automatically appear in your inventory. A small piece of rock will drop to the ground once the stone is destroyed. You must interact with this piece to collect the mineral samples and complete the Quest.

If you've followed these steps, you won't have to travel far to get back 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 more XP and finish the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests, allowing you to resume playing *Fortnite* and show off 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 the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.
