After teasing us with new content, Gearbox recently announced another DLC pack for its addictive RPG-shooter, Borderlands. Announcing it as "the biggest DLC we have made," The Secret Armory of General Knoxx has already teased us with some of its new features. The downloadable content will modify the game to allow a level cap beyond the current limit of 50, it will feature a huge, new environment and enough new enemies to populate it, as well as a considerable amount of new missions and weapons. The released screenshots for the game also hinted at the involvement of the Crimson Lance in the DLC, since its insignia was present in one of the images.

Now, Gearbox has released the DLC's set of achievements, and the list gives birth to even more speculations, while also confirming some of them. We know that the Crimson Lance is indeed present and accounted for, since we'll have to destroy a Lance Depot, the new level cap will be of at least 61 and we'll also get to build the new vehicle, most likely through a quest, and that it's not going to be a lot wilder than the previous ones. The entire list of achievements is posted below, so feel free to look for even more hints. It's made up of ten items and offers a maximum Gamescore boost of 250.

Making a Monster (10); Build the New Car: Monster; Athena, Out (25); Rescue Athena; Depot Demolition (25); Destroy the Lance Depot; Vincible (50); Kill Crawmerax the Invincible; Sneaky Little Buggers (25); Kill each of the loot midgets; Speed Kills (25); Destroy a Lancer while in a Racer; Ding! Overleveled (15); Reach Level 51; Ding! Overleveled to 11 (40); Reach Level 61; Completionist (25); Complete all missions in Secret Armory; Secret Achievement (10); Continue playing to unlock this secret achievement.

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is the third DLC to come to Borderlands, after the developers already released The Zombie Island of Doctor Ned, a single-player-oriented DLC, and Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, one that is more of a co-op multiplayer one.
