Too bad, Heavy players. You lost fair and square, and there's no prize for second place. And to commemorate your loss, here's a free gift!
Second Banana publicity blurb

The Second Banana is a community-created secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is a slightly-bruised, half-peeled yellow banana with white insides and a jiggleboned peel.

This item functions similarly to the Sandvich. Pressing the primary fire or taunt button with the Second Banana active will allow the Heavy to consume it, and heal up to 200 health at the same rate as the Sandvich does. Unlike the Sandvich, however, the Second Banana has the ability to recharge with 10 seconds rather than 30.

The Second Banana was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Battle Banana".

Update history

October 20, 2017 Patch #1 (Jungle Inferno Update)

  • The Second Banana was added to the game.

November 7, 2017 Patch

  • Fixed the bite bodygroup for The Second Banana.

Bugs

  • When a player consumes the Second Banana, no bite marks will visibly appear in first person view; other players will still see an eaten banana.
  • Picking up a health pack at full health will regenerate the Second Banana but will not visually refill the recharge meter.

Trivia

  • A second banana is an idiom meaning a person who serves in a supporting or secondary capacity. This references the fact that the Second Banana is a "booby prize", as the Heavy lost the Meet Your Match Update's "Heavy Versus Pyro", for which the Pyro won the focus of the Jungle Inferno Update. It can also be seen as a reference to its secondary weapon status, or its usage in a supporting role to heal teammates.
