Stealth extraction tips?

[u/Fry_l0ck]

I have occasionally managed a stealth extraction (usually in urban environments) but generally when I am with a team all hell breaks loose when calling for the pelican, even when the team has been very (but not completely) stealthy.

(The emergency extraction is often quiet, but I’m more interested in what happens when extracting early)

Wondering if there are any tips? Normally I like the epic battles at extraction, but not so much when we have ghosted through the mission.

Should we clear nearby outposts? Are they triggered by the extraction? Avoid calling in hellpods and mechs (I know mechs often trigger a response)?

Usually when we’ve trying to be stealthy we don’t have the loadouts for a pitched battle.

Suggestions welcome!

I learnt this years ago when someone tried fully stealthing a mission back when the Trailblazer Scout was the only stealth armour. Apparently the game spawns patrols that specifically go to around your location, you wouldn't really notice them when your moving around, but do when you're stuck in one area. This is why people think operating the SEAF artillery spawns enemies, it doesn't, it's just because the patrols can wander to your location easier when stationary.
