The Iron Curtain is a currently unreleased promotional primary weapon for the Heavy. It appears to be a wooden Minigun, supposedly crafted by the Heavy himself.

As a skin replacement for the Minigun, it has no unique stats. It is awarded to players of Poker Night at the Inventory during a special bonus round.

Like the Minigun, the Iron Curtain delivers high damage per bullet with an incredible rate of fire and is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. It is able to fire 10 ammo per second, but has a large cone of fire and individual bullets suffer damage falloff with range. For each 1 ammo, the gun fires 4 bullets; if all 200 ammo count is fired, that equals 800 bullets. In order to fire, the gun requires approximately one second for the barrel to revolve at the correct speed before being ready. Players can begin the barrel spinning without wasting ammo or time with the correct bound key (default: Mouse2/Left Trigger [360]/L2 [PS3]). When either spinning or firing, the Heavy's movement speed is slowed considerably (to 37% speed). Furthermore, the Heavy cannot move while crouched and spinning or firing.

If a Heavy is stunned with The Sandman while the Iron Curtain is spinning or firing, the Iron Curtain will remain spinning for the duration of the stun.
