— Official Description

” |
The Iron Curtain is a promotional primary weapon for the Heavy. It appears to be a Minigun made partially out of wood, with identifiable features such as a Communist Hammer and Sickle emblem visible on the ammo casing and a smoking vent on the side. This weapon was supposedly crafted by the Heavy himself. The weapon functions in exactly the same way as the standard Minigun.
It is awarded to players of Template:W for defeating the Heavy during a round in which he has bought in with the item instead of cash.

Previous Changes
- The Iron Curtain was added to the game and could be found via the item drop system or crafting.
Bugs
- The Iron Curtain has a quick switch effect between weapons by ignoring the spin-down time. Considering that the Iron Curtain is a promotional item, this is likely to be an unintended side-effect.
- The bullet flash coming from the end of the Iron Curtain is further out than the actual end.
Trivia
- The Iron Curtain is canonically the Heavy's first Minigun before Sasha. Telltale initially revealed that the Heavy would wager Sasha in the bonus round.
- In fact, Heavy refers to the Iron Curtain as Sasha in Poker Night, due to voice lines not having been changed.
- The name of this weapon is a reference to a quote from British Prime Minster Winston Churchill, in which he said the "Iron Curtain" would divide the Soviet Union's territory from the Western Democracies.
- The Iron Curtain has team-colored paint in Poker Night at the Inventory and is also the preliminary version.
- The Iron Curtain has a shorter barrel compared to Natasha and The Minigun
