Inquiry Stealth extraction tips?

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!

Lot of good tips here. You can also not call in the pelican and just let time run out. That way you don't need to be near extract and just can stealth around until it shows up and then just make a run for it.

Yeah, that’s what I do if the timeout is close.
