To earn Rainbow Six Extraction Milestone XP quickly, you will need to take the following steps:
- Play Cautious, Severe, or Critical Incursions
- Stay in Incursions with Parasite Mutations
- Be as stealthy as possible

Play Cautious, Severe, or Critical Incursions
By playing Incursions on higher difficulties, you will get bonus XP for completing objectives which provides a sizeable bonus: 50% for Cautious Incursions, 100% for Severe Incursions, 200% for Critical Incursions.
Cautious Incursions are easily completable alone with a bit of practice, but if you are playing with a team, then you should attempt the two higher difficulties. You will face tougher variants of Rainbow Six Extraction’s Archaeans but with a team that has had some practice you will be able to get through them
Stay in Incursions with Parasite Mutations
When playing on the above difficulties, you have the chance to spawn a Parasite Mutation when beginning an Incursion. Parasite Mutations in Rainbow Six Extraction, radically change how the game can play. For example, the enemies might all be invisible, or Sprawl spread around the map will become toxic, damaging you when stepping in it.
Completing Incursions with these activated will reward a chunk of bonus XP at the end. And, if you load into an Incursion without one, you can simply leave and restart it.
Be as stealthy as possible
Rainbow Six Extraction rewards you sizeably if you take out enemies by stealth attacks with a silenced weapon or takedowns. But, you can also get bonus points for killing enemies through destructible surfaces, or using equipment like Ela’s stun mines, stun grenades, scan grenades, or spotting enemies with Lion’s ability.
All of this adds up over the course of the game and will be a nice boon after collecting all that Parasite Mutation XP and bonus objective XP.

Rainbow Six Extraction Studies are small and simple challenges that can be completed and vary from killing enemies to using specific pieces of equipment and operators’ gadgets.
These offer a nice segment of bonus XP at the end of an Operation and will help towards boosting your overall takeaway thanks to the 90% Extraction boost offered upon exfiltrating from a hot-zone.
Those tips should help you rank up your Operators and Milestone Rank a bit faster. For more tips on how to make the most of your time in the game, check out our Rainbow Six Extraction walkthrough.
