New details emerge on the Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC for Borderlands

Confirmed

New level cap of 61
More backpack space
New enemies
New weapons
New vehicles
800 MS points on XBL, or $10 for PC or PS3.

Straight from Gearbox comes this news on the new Borderlands DLC. It was rumored (due to the achievments list being released) that the level cap has been raised from 50 to 61. This is now confirmed. You will get skill points for these new levels and there are missions that will increase your backpack size (probably more claptrap rescues).

Some new enemies were shown including the Crimson Lance's assasins, fast moving chicks with swords who drop in on you ODST style in a pod (interplanetary ninja assasins?). Also, midgets riding on skags! To give you a fighting chance against these new enemies, there will be new weapons (as well as the level cap of 48 on the old weapons and gear being increased).

A new vehicle was shown which seats all 4 co-op players, 1 driver and 3 gunners, though the weapons will be unique (one person can lay mines, for instance). This is in addition to the "monster" truck which was already shown and the existing runner.

The cost of the DLC was confirmed as $10 (which translates to 800 MS points for those playing on the XBox 360). Still no solid release date other than "soon".
