Low-noise route
Use paths that avoid unnecessary combat and let you hear enemy movement early.
Map guide
Routes matter because extraction is the real objective. A safe route beats a flashy route that leaves you trapped by noise or bad positioning.

Route principles
Do not wander into the center of the map just because the loot looks better. The best route is the one you can leave safely.
Use paths that avoid unnecessary combat and let you hear enemy movement early.
Set a loot limit before entering so greed does not decide for you.
Before every fight, ask who can hear it and how fast they can reach you.
Route discipline
A route that only works once is not a route. It is luck.
Use the same safe route until you can extract consistently.
Change only one route variable at a time so you know what helped.
Always know the nearest safe exit before fighting or looting.
