Various visual modifications are periodically discussed in the STALCRAFT gaming community, among which the so-called chams stand out. This type of third-party software changes the display of models in the game, making characters or objects brightly highlighted. Some players consider such tools as a way to improve visibility in dynamic PvP situations, but using them involves serious risks and directly violates the rules of the project.

Chams modifications work by interfering with the rendering of the game and changing graphic materials, which creates an artificial advantage over other players. The STALCRAFT administration is actively fighting against such tools, and anti-cheat systems are regularly updated and detect any interference with the game client. As a result, the use of such programs almost always leads to permanent account blocking.

In addition to the game ban, there is another danger. Many chams applications are distributed through questionable sites that may contain malicious code: viruses, keyloggers, Trojans, and hidden miners. Such risks make the installation of such programs extremely unsafe even for experienced users.

For those who want to improve visibility, it is recommended to use legal ways to optimize the game: adjusting graphics settings, changing the scale of the monitor, adjusting image filters, choosing the right equipment and learning PvP tactics. These methods allow you to improve the gaming experience without violating the rules and endangering security.
