| “ | The Heavy has spared no expense in crafting this historic tribute to the mother land. Forged from Soviet iron and inlaid with the remaindered mahogany from Alexander II's favorite chair, each kill is not only for "pride of team," but for the Republic.
— Official Description

The Iron Curtain is a currently released 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. The weapon was supposedly crafted by the Heavy himself.
Based on precedent set by the Lugermorph and the Big Kill, two previously released promotional weapons that replaced their respective class' stock items, the Iron Curtain is most likely an alternate model for the Minigun.
It is awarded to players of Template:W for defeating the Heavy during a special bonus round.[1]
Trivia
- The Iron Curtain is canonically Heavy's first Minigun (his first love) before Sasha. Telltale initially revealed that 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 the same name as a Heavy achievement, the Iron Kurtain.
