The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are thrilling challenges that push players to their limits. One of the standout tasks, the Big Dill challenge, has players buzzing, but it's just the beginning. 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 addition to the Lawless season, is key to accessing the Vaults spread across the map. As an Epic item, it's not easy to find, but it's worth the effort. Your best bet for locating this weapon is at Points of Interest (POIs) with Vaults, such as Crime City, which is rich with Go Bags and Chests. Alternatively, you can purchase the Plasma Burst Laser from two Black Markets for 600 Gold each. 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 for the next phase of the challenge.

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 suffice; you need one that can be destroyed. The Escapist's attempts on permanent stone structures were fruitless, indicating that you need a breakable stone piece, typically something you could demolish with your Pickaxe.
With your target in sight, aim the Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and fire away. The structure will eventually crumble, but don't expect the mineral samples to magically appear in your inventory. Instead, a small piece of rock will drop to the ground once the stone is destroyed. You must interact with this rock to collect the mineral samples and progress in the Quest.
After successfully collecting the samples, you won't have to venture far to reach Joss' lab. The game will guide you to the exact spot inside the lab where you need to go. Interact once more to analyze the samples, earning you additional XP and completing the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. With this done, you can return to regular *Fortnite* gameplay and flaunt your newly unlocked items.
And that's the complete guide on how to 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 up in the Lawless season.
*Fortnite is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.*
