Did you just drop some serious knowledge on us lowly bug slayers? Thank you kindly! I'm back to waiting for reinforcements...god I suck... space spacespacespace
Dropping your equipment right after you start can actually attract patrols.
The game apparently has a full detection system based on sound and vision.
Limiting how much noise you make can actually keep the heat off you very effectively, so you don't have to fight your way across the map.
And smell, apparently.

A dev explained that in a video, it's basically just a proximity check, some bugs will wise up to players no matter what, if they're close enough.
God. The only good bug is a dead bug.
The extraction zone is usually a good place to enter as well, there usually aren't many mobs too close to it when you first start so you can safely drop items in.
I haven't played the last 2 difficulties though so idk how well that advice travels.
