With all of the fun and hilarity garnered through both the single- and multi-player modes in Borderlands and its two DLC’s, it’s only natural that, with the availability of the listing of the new achievements for the upcoming third DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx (and what is this love for two X’s?!?), we’d all want to know what’s new and exciting in the new expansion. Certainly, the speculation factor is baked into the achievements listing… 
Level Cap Increase
Like the frustration with Diablo II‘s level cap, the one found in Borderlands– at Level 50– has irked a lot of players, given the wide expanse of territory and cannon fodder to mow down.
There are a couple of achievements keyed to the increase in character level; the highest one indicates that there is at least a Level 61. However, it may make more sense that the maximum is higher than 61, unless 61 represents some sort of special numeric value to the game’s developers.
Let’s Get This Party Started Right… and Red…
One of the fun bunch o’ enemies in the game, at least for the Soldier types, has got to be the Crimson Lance. In addition to the odd high-pitched whines that they emit when killed, they also seem to drop some really nice items. So, bumping up their presence in the DLC is a nice touch, hopefully with more goodies to come… and to match the character level increase, ‘natch.
For the Love of Cars
There are a couple of achievements that refer to vehicles: one for building one, and one for killing a Crimson Lancer while driving one. This could refer to some sort of death-race, a vehicular cousin to Mad Moxxi’s Underdome (and the 2nd DLC) or it could be just one of those incidental slaughter achievements. The other aspect of vehicles, to actually build one, could be an intriguing feature to actually equip one with various parts to make that Über-car to wage a blitzkrieg mobile war on the hapless hordes, or it could be merely reminiscent of one of Scooter’s fetch-the-parts missions. We’ve been getting tired of the Scooter’s scooters, so hopefully we get more variety.
New Enemy Type: Grab Bag, Anyone?
Loot midgets… hmm (and not trying to be insensitive in any way, but that’s the description on one of the achievements)… We’ve seen various horde midgets, shotgun midgets, a “king” Weewee type. Will there be a new midget type that, say, steals from your stash? Ooh, or maybe one that rips the weapons right out of your hands? Quite a twist, especially for players who enjoy the ol’ melee attack or ten…
More Fun?
So, we’ve gone through the desolate wasteland party fun. And we’ve satisfied our zombie-slaying jones. And then we shot-clubbed-sliced-detonated the hordes. Now we get the chance to add more vehicular homicidal rage to the proverbial bucket list, level up some more, collect more stuff, see more sights, and meet more interesting people.
