Can you 5 man scav Tarkov?

Yes, you can form a 4-man or 5-man combat group (squad) in Escape from Tarkov to join raids together as PMCs (player characters) or Scavs (scavengers), but Scav groups often have a limit of 4 players in a standard lobby to prevent them from dominating, though 5-man Scav groups are sometimes seen in specific modes or events and can be formed via friends lists.
