The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is the third in the series of downloadable content packs for Borderlands. It was announced on 21 January 2010, and Gearbox Software stated this is "the biggest DLC we have made." It will be available for all platforms, although no release date has been announced as of yet. Gearbox has announced that it will include "new challenges and opportunities for growth for characters from around level 34 to level 50." The DLC will cost $10 (£6.29) / 800 MS points when it is released, which is the same price as the previous two DLC.

The only clues as to what is in the actual game can be found on the General Knoxx page.

Trivia

 * The title of this DLC is a clear reference to Fort Knox in the U.S., which is often referred to when talking about an impregnable fortress or building.
 * New unique Crimson Lance gun drops are rumoured to happen from certain enemies.
 * A new player-controllable vehicle; two trucks are depicted with Lilith and Brick in the driver and gunner stations respectively. The trucks use the same model as Mad Mel's truck, without the additional swag of skag skeleton. In addition, they seem to fire a new-looking round, as seen in the picture of the new vehicle. These are possibly the new "Monster" cars.
 * It is also rumoured that the download content will feature Sanctuary, a town/city often mentioned, yet not encountered yet ingame.
 * The four new recruits inspected by General Knoxx ("kyros, typhon, theron, and ajax") seem to refer to the four main character classes:
 * Kyros may be a Siren; "Kairos" is an ancient Greek word meaning a moment in which something special happens (Wikipedia)
 * Typhon may be a Berserker; in Greek mythology Typhon was an enormous unstoppable Titan (Wikipedia)
 * Theron may be a Hunter; "Theron" means "hunter" in Greek (Wikipedia)
 * Ajax may be a Soldier; Ajax was a mythological Greek hero from Homer's Iliad and one of Helen's suitors (Wikipedia).
