As a bonus customization option for Black Ops Cold War players, Treyarch has added the option to let CoD gamers alter the Hit Marker sound effect, and our guide will show you how to do so.

It’s the little things that can have a huge impact on someone’s enjoyment of a game. Some players have reported that they haven’t been a fan of Black Ops Cold War’s Hit Marker sound, and Treyarch has now included a feature to be able to change this.
