Fortnite Chapter 6: Collecting Mineral Samples with Plasma Burst Laser

by Bella May 16,2025

The Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 are challenging, to say the least. The Big Dill challenge is driving players wild, but it's just the beginning. Here's your 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 your key to cracking open Vaults across the map. As an Epic item, it's not easy to find, but your best bet is to search Points of Interest (POIs) with Vaults, like Crime City, which is packed with Go Bags and Chests. Alternatively, you can purchase the Plasma Burst Laser at two Black Markets for 600 Gold each. While the one south of Seaport City is an option, the Black Market near Magic Mosses is more convenient since your next task involves returning 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 got your hands on the Epic Plasma Burst Laser, it's time to find a suitable stone structure. Not just any stone will do; it needs to be one that you can destroy. The Escapist learned the hard way that hitting permanent stone structures won't yield mineral samples. You'll need to locate a breakable stone piece, which you can also take down with your Pickaxe if needed.

With your target in sight, aim the Plasma Burst Laser at the stone and start firing. Eventually, the stone will shatter, and a small piece of rock containing the mineral samples will drop to the ground. Don't expect them to appear in your inventory automatically; you must interact with the dropped rock to collect the samples and complete the Quest.

Following these steps should keep your journey short, allowing you to return to Joss' lab without much hassle. The game will guide you to the specific spot inside her lab where you need to go. Just hit the interact button once more, and you'll earn additional XP, wrapping up the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. Then, you can dive back into *Fortnite* and flaunt your new unlocks.

And that's how you collect mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite* Chapter 6. For more excitement, check out all the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.

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