The Plasma Burst Laser, a new addition to the Lawless season, excels at breaching Vaults scattered across the map. As an Epic item, it's not readily available. Your best bet is searching POIs containing Vaults, such as Crime City, known for its abundance of Go Bags and Chests. Alternatively, two Black Markets 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 strategically advantageous for the subsequent challenge requiring a return to Joss's lab.

With your Epic Plasma Burst Laser acquired, locate a destructible stone structure. Note that not all stone structures will work; permanent structures are ineffective. You need to find a stone structure breakable with your Pickaxe. Target the stone structure with the Plasma Burst Laser and fire until it disintegrates. Mineral samples won't automatically appear in your inventory. Instead, a small rock fragment will drop; interact with it to complete the quest objective.

Returning to Joss's lab for sample analysis should be straightforward. The game will mark the location within her lab. Interact with the designated point to earn additional XP and conclude the Wanted: Joss Outlaw Quests. You can then resume your *Fortnite* gameplay, showcasing your newly acquired rewards.

This concludes your guide on collecting mineral samples using the Plasma Burst Laser in *Fortnite* Chapter 6. For further information, explore the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.

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