The job of gathering intelligence is one that is often forgotten until it's too late in Rainbow Six Extraction. While running with a squad, running out of ammunition, gadgets, and ability powers is commonplace. Many strategies will work, but only if there are the resources to execute upon the strategy.

And that is where IQ comes in. She starts off sensing REACT resource crates, which is already handy, and then moves on to also sensing opponents, cloaked or otherwise. Oh, and it should be mentioned that this ability has no cooldown and never runs out. IQ assures that the squad will never be caught off guard.
As is the case with many of the operators, IQ's primary weapon should be reserved for when things go wrong. Forget about silence, it's all about stopping power to prevent the squad from being overrun. As her lone shotgun choice, the M870 is the obvious answer.

With the expansion of her ability, IQ should already be one of the first operators to level up. This will give her quick access to the shotgun. Remember that some objectives can't be done with stealth, so the M870 will at least be useful during these moments.
IQ has many reasons to get as much experience as fast as possible, but her ideal secondary weapon is available right away. Actually, it's her only secondary weapon. That may be a cause for concern, but the lack of options is supplemented by the strength of the gun.
Even with a silencer attached, the gun is strong enough to take out an enemy with a shot to the weak spot from any area on the map. This is the gun that should be predominantly used, especially since it can be used in conjunction with IQ's ability.
