  1. The truth is, when it comes to DLC, nobody is doing this stuff as well as Gearbox's team at the moment.
  2. 88
    This is by far the best of the three add-ons for the core game, and the most fun I had since I completed the main game last year.
  3. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx shows how DLC packs should be done. It raises the level cap from 50 to 61, it is extremely challenging, and it offers violent, yet addictive, item hunting. Most delightful of all, the tongue-in-cheek humor is kicked into high gear. Simply put: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx delivers on all fronts. This add-on is a must-have for every self-respecting Borderlands player. [Apr 2010]
  4. The best DLC available for Borderlands - An absolute must-buy for fans. [May 2010, p.83]
  5. If you've been looking for a good reason to re-enter Pandora and start looting and shooting again, spending ten bucks on The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is about as good a reason as you're likely to find.
  6. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx does a great job of both extending the Borderlands gameplay and bringing new elements like creatures, weapons and the new level cap.
  7. Between the core missions and the side stuff, you could easily spend another 10 hours or more going through General Knoxx.

  1. Great DLC, with more fantastic writing. A huge improvement over the previous 2 DLC's, this is a worthy addition to the Borderlands name. The lack of Fast Travel is my primary complaint. Full Review »
  2. More of the same, I say. It could be quite entertaining - we've another funny main villain, new enemies, that can even kill us, and real new content (vehicles and weapons). It could be, but it's definitely too easy to even bother with lesser enemies, maps are designed awfully, the highways' runs are annoying, the parts where we run on our feet are too big, quests are again simple fetch/kill quests. Intentions were good, the performance is awful, the boredom wins. Full Review »
  3. This is everything the rest of Borderlands' DLC should have been: more enemies, more levels, more environments and vehicles, and a real appreciation for spectacle. Knoxx is just about everything great in Borderlands condensed into one DLC, and unlike Moxxie's Underdome and Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, actually delivers enough content to justify the price.
