Trivia

 * The title of this DLC is a clear reference to Fort Knox in the U.S., which is synomymous with an impregnable fortress or building.
 * New, unique Crimson Lance guns have been rumored to be occasionally dropped by certain enemies.


 * Ajax is a Lance Rocketeer. Ajax was a mythological Greek hero from Homer's Iliad and one of Helen's suitors (Wikipedia). Also, AJAX is a brand of toilet bowl cleaner.
 * Athena, formerly of the Crimson Lance, is named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, Athena.
 * Vulcana, a Lance Assassin, is named after the Roman god of the forge and fire, Vulcan.
 * Hera, a Lance Assassin is named after the Greek goddess of marriage and women, Hera.
 * In the Secret Armory of General Knoxx logo there is a small 61 in the lower-right corner. This represents the maximum reachable level of this DLC.
 * Though the player level cap is increased to level 61, Crawmerax the Invincible is level 64, 3 levels above cap.
 * The first Thirsty the Midget mission is a reference to the Lord of the Rings; the midget outposts are named Brandybuck, Took, Gamgee, and Underhill, the last names of the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Technically speaking, though, the name Underhill was not actually the last name of any of the main characters. Rather, it was used by Frodo Baggins as an alias when he carried the ring.
 * There is a secret cabin in T-Bone Junction, opened with a switch near the red chest on the lower side of the town, it opens the door on the other side of the cabin. Inside you will find a container which spawns a level 61 Popsicle midget.
