Embarking on the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2? Brace yourself; these aren't your average challenges. The Big Dill has players scrambling, and this mineral sample collection quest using the Plasma Burst Laser is no exception. Let's dive in.

Locating the Plasma Burst Laser

The Plasma Burst Laser, a new addition to the Lawless season, is your key to cracking open those elusive Vaults. While powerful, it's an Epic item, making it a bit harder to find. Your best bet is searching POIs with Vaults, like Crime City, which often boasts Go Bags and Chests. Alternatively, two Black Markets offer it for 600 Gold. The Black Market near Magic Mosses is strategically advantageous for the next step of the quest, requiring a return trip to Joss's lab.

Collecting Mineral Samples

Equipped with your Plasma Burst Laser, you need to find a destructible stone structure. Note: not every stone structure will work. You need to locate a breakable stone object, similar to those you'd destroy with your pickaxe. Once found, unleash the Plasma Burst Laser. The stone will break, dropping a small rock containing the mineral samples. Interact with this rock to collect the samples and complete this quest step.

From there, simply follow the in-game marker to Joss's lab. Interact with the designated spot to analyze the samples, earning valuable XP and completing the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. Now get back to the action and show off those hard-earned rewards!
