The China Rising expansion adds five new weapons. But these weapons aren’t available immediately. To unlock each new weapon you must complete an assignment, requiring you to fulfill a set of specific tasks. Upon the completion of an assignment, a new weapon is unlocked. Like the weapons included with Battlefield 4, every weapon has its own unlock progression, allowing you to equip new accessories such as scopes and rail attachments. No two weapons are exactly the same, so get to know them and select ones that best reflect your style of play.

There are two new gadgets in China Rising, the SUAV and UCAV. These two gadgets can be unlocked by completing assignments.
SUAV

- Get a kill with the bombing raid
The SUAV (Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is a recon exclusive and is basically a remote-controlled plane that you can pilot around the map, in order to spot enemies and laser-designate enemy vehicles. It can also be used to kill enemies.
UCAV
Unlock: Complete Eyes in the Sky Assignment
The UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) is a new gadget for the support class and can be described as a pocket TOW missile. After deployment, this can be guided like a missile and is very effective against vehicles. If you complete one of the new Assignments in China Rising, there is an unlock for the UCAV that makes it explode in mid-air, making it more effective against infantry.
