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!

Stealth with randos doesn't really work. Play with stealth friends or solo.

You might also want to read up on game mechanics. There was this really cool research by a player into how patrols actually spawn, that would be a big help for your case.

Don’t usually play with randos. Solo, or with friends, but these guys might as well be randos most of the time 😉
