Partway through Joss’ Wanted quests inFortniteChapter 6, Season 2, you’ll encounter a task asking you to collect mineral samples using a Plasma Burst Laser. Every part of this objective is tricky, as you must survive long enough to find a laser and determine what structures drop these samples.
How to get a Plasma Burst Laser in Fortnite
First up is findingFortnite’sPlasma Burst Laser weapon, which you can pick up from the following sources:
While chest and floor loot are often go-to solutions for finding various weapon types, Chapter 6, Season 2 introduces Black Markets you can visit to purchase certain gear for gold bars and Dill Bits. A Plasma Burst Laser from the Seaport City and Magic Mosses Black Markets cost 600 gold bars, making them slightly pricey but worthwhile for this quest.
Alternatively, you can obtain Plasma Burst Lasers from chest rewards, floor loot, and player elimination drops, much like you would a regular weapon. However, this is entirely luck-based, and there’s a chance you’ll go several rounds without finding one unless you explore most of the map or get multiple eliminations. Even then, you often won’t spot any until later in the match when you and your other players access rare chests.
How to find Mineral Samples in Fortnite
Once you have a Plasma Burst Laser from a Black Market or regular loot sources, target any stone structure to get a mineral sample. I just went for a building’s wall, but you may have to experiment a bit if certain locations don’t work. With the sample on hand, you’ll be ready to return to the Magic Mosses Black Market and completeJoss’ Wanted quest series.
