Talk:The Devil You Know (Year 1)

Reference
This weapon is a reference to the Supernatural character Crowley.

Crowley is a demon in the show who holds the title of the king of the crossroads. Crossroad demons create contracts with people giving them a wish, in exchange for death in 10 years time. Hence the text: let's make a deal..

Furthermore in one episode as Crowley becomes the new King of hell, an Angel threatens to kill him and reinstate Lucifer as king, Crowley replys "wouldn't you rather the devil you know?". This explains the item title.


 * It's also a fairly common saying as well. Example: overthrowing a bad leader might not be a good idea, because there's the chance that someone worse would replace him.  M67PattonZippo (talk) 16:29, August 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * ^^^This. "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't" is an aphorism suggesting that negative things which are familiar are often preferable to those which are negative and unfamiliar/unexpected/unforeseen. As a phrase it has existed long before the TV show "Supernatural."185.3.135.122 17:02, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I've never seen one with explosive rounds, at least, not from the Vanguard. Do they get different stats if they come from an Engram?73.169.102.227 02:37, October 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * It must.  The one in the Vanguard (at least mine) has Zen moment (increased stability with damage) and crowd control (kills give a damage bonus) 169.237.38.4 16:01, October 9, 2014 (UTC)
