Crimson Armory

Crimson Armory is an area in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. It houses numerous armaments and vehicles which General Knoxx was going to use for his invasion of Pandora. The player has to infiltrate the base and plant an explosive charge in order to destroy the armory and prevent the invasion. The player is then allowed 3 minutes to loot as much of the armory as they want, but they must exit the armory before it is destroyed.

After the armory's destruction, Marcus manages to purchase the ruins of the Crimson Armory from Atlas and salvage and rebuild it completely. The armory then has a neon picture of Marcus on its front side after his purchase. Apparently, many members of the Crimson Lance are discontent with Marcus purchasing the armory. Marcus will allow you to loot the armory two more times if you help him dispense of some of the Lance remnants.

Loot
The loot found in the armory is not as good as one may imagine, with most of it being green or blue weapons. In all, the armory contains several purple weapons, a few orange weapons, and occasionally even a pearlescent weapon, though the likelihood of the player encountering many of these during the time limit is low. The armory is home to 4 floors: The main entry floor, a lower level with no loot, and two floors just above the main floor, which you must take elevators to get to. There is also a wall with nine small rooms that all have weapons boxes behind shields; to access these, players must use a floating platform that can move between rooms, accessible from the main floor.

Additionally, the loot from the armory may get better in the missions Marcus gives you, especially It's Like Christmas!, as opposed to the story mission, Loot Larceny, from Athena.

Trivia

 * On the road which leads to the armoury (Road's End), there is a sign which reads "Road to Hill 30", a reference to the 2005 "Brother's In Arms" game for Xbox, Playstation 2,PC and Wii, also made by Gearbox Software.
