Wilhelm-7 has left messages in bottles in Destiny 2’s Grasp of Avarice dungeon for players to find. Those that track them all down will get the Triumph, The Richest Dead Man Alive. Locating all the message will take some work, and a bit of sleuthing, as they are quite well hidden. It’s also best to bring a fireteam, unless you’re chasing a solo completion.

Wilhelm-7 messages in bottles

There are 12 of Wilhelm-7’s messages to find in Grasp of Avarice. These appear as messages in bottles, which fits with the pirate aesthetic of the dungeon. As mentioned above, finding all the messages unlocks the Triumph, The Richest Dead Man Alive. As you go through finding these bottles, you should also try to unlock the Gjallarhorn Catalyst.
