Borderlands already has a crazy awesome assortment of weapons and "The Secret Armory of General Knoxx" is going to be introducing even more. Some of the new weapons are so rare and so ridiculous that a new color rating higher than orange, called pearlescent, has been introduced to classify these new guns.
While these new weapons are super rare, there is one good source where you'll find the pearlescent weapons at more often than not. That source being a special boss character called Crawmerax the Invincible who appears after you've completed the main story in the upcoming DLC.
Good luck trying to defeat Crawmerax, though. This is the toughest boss you'll come across and it doesn't help that he's at level 64 while you're capped at level 61. A team of four will obviously be needed but it'll still be a pretty difficult challenge.
The battle is tough, but the potential payoff will be worth it. Truth be told, I'm really looking forward to all the people losing their sh*t through Twitter as people Tweet their frustrations. Check out our interview with Gearbox from earlier today for more info on Borderlands DLC.

He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Can't wait!
One point, though: pearlescent weapons aren't all that new...
Gt : snaileb
Hit me up and I'll duplicate my 56000 x 7 dmg eridian cannon
Ps. Can't wait for secret armory day one buy
Um... NO.
I really wish Gearbox would find a way to ban all the fuckers who hack their weapons, or at least make them all play on a different server. It really takes the fun out of dueling for some of us.
To each their own and all that jazz, I'd just like to have some control over what kind of gamer I join up with...
I did not know that they raised the level cap and new weapons sound awesome :)
@Snaileb
Too bad that Gt aint a PSN one....
Crap.
As for saying they ruin the game because it makes duels with random people unbalanced All I can tell you is get some friends with whom you can trust won't use modded weapons
I have a pearlescent repeater, has a rather meaty damage stat but otherwise not as good as some of my dark orange revolvers. You can tell because they're placed higher than the dark orange/orange weapons in your inventory.

It wasn't guesswork, you just had to learn how to use the scope properly. Which, considering that Sniper Elite was built around realism, wasn't really an unreasonable request.
