Expand your mayhem in Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, the massive third downloadable content expansion for Gearbox Software's iconic looter-shooter. Designed to be played after the conclusion of the base game's main storyline, this expansion introduces a significant amount of new content, including an increased level cap that rises from 50 to 61. This allows players to earn more skill points, enabling deeper character customization and the creation of even more formidable Vault Hunters.

New Frontiers and Intense Combat

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx transports players to a vast, all-new zone featuring a gigantic dried-out lakebed and crumbling elevated highways. At the heart of this expansion is T-Bone Junction, a main town situated on the outskirts of the new landscape. This expansion is packed with 44 brand-new quests, spanning both side missions and new story arcs that focus on the reemergable threat of the Crimson Lance.

As you navigate this massive environment, you will face brutal, never-before-seen enemies. The expansion introduces specialized combat encounters designed around high-speed movement, including robotic probes and stationary highway turrets that force players to stay alert while traversing the terrain. To help manage these threats, Gearbox has introduced a new tier of weapon rarity intended to dramatically overshadow previous loot, ensuring that the "shoot and loot" loop remains fresh and rewarding.

High-Octane Vehicle Gameplay

Because of the sheer scale of the new zone, traversal becomes a central mechanic of the gameplay experience. Players can utilize specialized new vehicles that are exclusive to these new areas:

  • The Monster: A unique two-person vehicle that requires teamwork; one player takes the wheel while another mans a turret equipped with homing missiles.
  • Four-Person Heavy Vehicle: A larger, Hummer-style vehicle capable of carrying up to four players, featuring room for a driver, a turret gunner, and specialists who can utilize mine layers and area-of-effect blasts from beneath the chassis.

Key Features of The Secret Armory of General Knoxx
