The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are designed to test even the most seasoned players. The Big Dill challenge has already stirred up quite a buzz, but it's just the beginning. If you're aiming to conquer the quest to collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser, you're in the right place. Let's dive into how you can successfully complete this challenging task in *Fortnite*.
How to Find the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite*
The Plasma Burst Laser, introduced in the Lawless season, is your key to breaking into Vaults across the map. As an Epic item, it's not easy to find, but it's worth the hunt. You'll want to check out Points of Interest (POIs) with Vaults, like Crime City, which is packed with Go Bags and Chests. If luck isn't on your side, don't worry—two Black Markets on the map sell the Plasma Burst Laser for 600 Gold. While the Black Market south of Seaport City is an option, the one near Magic Mosses is more strategic, given the proximity to Joss' lab where you'll need to analyze your 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 step is to locate a suitable stone structure. Not just any stone will do; you need one that can be destroyed. The Escapist team discovered that hitting permanent stone structures won't yield results. Instead, you'll need to find a piece of stone you can break with your Pickaxe.
After identifying your target, aim your Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and keep firing until it crumbles. Don't expect the mineral samples to automatically appear in your inventory. Instead, look for a small piece of rock that will drop where the stone once stood. Interact with this rock to collect your mineral samples and complete the Quest.
With your samples in hand, head back to Joss' lab, which shouldn't be far if you followed our advice on where to purchase the Plasma Burst Laser. The game will guide you to the specific location within the lab where you need to analyze the samples. Interact once more, and you'll earn additional XP, wrapping up the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. Now you can return to the *Fortnite* battlefield with your new unlocks and show them off.
And that's how you collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite* Chapter 6. For those eager for more, keep an eye out for all the rumored collaborations coming in the Lawless season.
*Fortnite* is available on a variety of platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3, ensuring you can join the action wherever you play.
