The Secret Armory of General Knoxx
Mine, mine, aaaand mine!
After purchasing two add-ons for Borderlands (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned & Secret Armory of General Knoxx). Its time for my review!
The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned
First and foremost, I wouldn't recommend getting Zombie Island Add-on,story aside, the difficulty for this add-on was at most easy. Lets face it, pitting yourself against hordes of walking zombies isn't hard. All one have to do is stand far away and blast away your prefered weapon of choice with fire elemental.
The little variants of new enemies doesn't quite enforce you to depart US$10 for this add-on. Yeah,there are were-skags,bats and frankensteins. Unless you are a fan of the occult, wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole.
Secret Armory of General Knoxx
The latest add-on by Gearbox was a huge improvement compared from the first. The level cap is raised to 61 (more skill points!) and you shall perish more often.
Firstly, we have a new rarity type of weapons, behold the 'PEARLESCENT' weapons. Its odds of obtaining it is way harder than the Legendary 'Orange' weapons. Good luck getting it!
Secondly,not only did they introduce new yet harder-to-kill enemies, we have new vehicles to drive in! Now we have to deal with huge bug creatures which can wipe out your shields in a single hit, but with ninja like assassins, flying drones and huge tanks.
Thirdly, they didn't stop there with the monsters. They put up a challenge for everyone. The motherload of all boss fights, the Invincible Crewmax, at Level 64 (thats right!) with its croonies at about level 61-63. The payoff? Higher chance of obtaining pearlescent weapons!
Last but not least, the SECRET ARMORY of course! After ending General Knoxx's miserable life, you have to 2 mins to scrape whatever items you find in the armory before the whole place goes BOOM!(well there's a glitch,go youtube it!)
My verdict? worth the US$10, especially with this much content. Go get it..now!
