Then open the messenger option found at the bottom right of the main menu. You will find the friends button at the top right corner, click on it. On the friends menu, you will see a list of your friends, sent friend requests, and pending requests.

● Proceeding into The game with your Squad
Having friends on your friend list isn’t all there is to playing the game with friends. You have to create your squad and proceed into the game together. To begin the game, select the map, time phase, PMC, and loadout. Your friends should also do the same, with the map and time phase option being the same as yours.
If you all did the above step correctly, your friends will be visible in the lobby once you open the Prepare for escape menu. On the Prepare for action screen, right-click on their usernames and select Invite to group.

Things to note about your squad
There are several things you should take into consideration when you play Escape from Tarkov with friends. Let’s consider them.
● Communication
Proper communication not only gives your team a coordinated gaming action, but it helps in several other ways. You may need to inform a team member about loots or an enemy close by, or even your current location. Also note that in the game, there is no means to identify a team member from a foe. Proper communication can help you avoid being killed accidentally by a teammate, or you killing a fellow team member.
● Know your Squadmates
In Escape from Tarkov, knowing the players you proceed to the game with is important, I’ll tell you why. It is a common incidence where you receive a friend request from another player you killed online. In this scenario, you can’t tell the motive behind their sending the request, so follow your gut instincts.
They want to be in your squad for one of two reasons: either they like the way you played, or they want to steal from you. In the game, you can be killed by a fellow teammate who wants to steal your loots, so be careful.
● PMCs and Scavs
In Escape from Tarkov, you can play with your friends either as Scavs or PMCs. Also, you are allowed to create a team of not more than 5 players if you play as a PMC. On the other hand, Scavs allows you to play with just 4 players in a squad. So, no matter the number of friends on your list, you have to choose who to play with.
Conclusion
Teamwork not only increases your odds of you surviving the beautiful and dangerous land of Tarkov. But it also gives you an increased advantage of having a taste of winning. While it may be a walkover for some, creating a team can be an issue for other newbies. So we hope that the article above will prove a comprehensive guide to help you create that team.
