Trivia

  • The title of this DLC is a clear reference to Fort Knox in the U.S., which is synonymous with an impregnable fortress or building.
  • 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.
  • The level increase, by the unusual number of eleven levels, is a reference to the potentiometer dials of Nigel Tufnel's guitar amplifier in the mockumentary, "This is Spinal Tap", apparently to give it "that extra push over the cliff".
