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 floppy peel.

This item functions similarly to the Sandvich. Pressing either the primary fire or taunt key (default keys: MOUSE1 and G, respectively) with the Second Banana active causes the Heavy to consume it and gain health. If used while the Heavy is at full health, the taunt animation plays, but the Banana is not consumed.

Unlike the Sandvich, the Second Banana recharges in 10 seconds rather than 30, but only heals up to 200 health at the same rate as the Sandvich. Additionally, when the Second Banana is dropped with alt-fire (default key: MOUSE2), it functions as a small health kit rather than a medium one. Should the Heavy be killed while holding the Second Banana, the ammo pack that he drops upon death instead restores 50 health for all classes but the Scout, who is healed for 75 health. The Second Banana weapon itself can be collected by other Heavies via weapon switching.

The Second Banana is automatically given to any player who completes the Pyroland Contract "Consolation Prize".

The Second Banana was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
