— 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

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
- In Poker Night at the Inventory The Iron Curtain is actually called 'Sasha'.
- The Iron Curtain is canonically the Heavy's first Minigun before Sasha or Sasha 'improved', because before offering the item the Heavy says that he bought her gifts (this means that the gifts could actually be stetical improvements). Telltale initially revealed that the Heavy would wager Sasha in the bonus round.
- 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.
