They use the QBZ rifles, with several variants. The weapon system plays similar to NATO calibers, offering lower a recoil compared to factions like the MEA. They have strong weapons overall, making them a challenging faction in 1v1.

Unlike most factions, PLA make use of multiple AGMs systems across their vehicle line up, including their tank and IFVs. Expect being targeted by AGMs when playing against PLA.

They are a strong anti-tank faction, meaning a few small errors can be costly. They have a laser ranger for their HAT, multiple AGMs across their vehicles and the faster firing TOW.

While their HAT anti-tank kits are strong, their general infantry LAT has far more drop than typical NATO kits like the LAW/AT-4.
