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 that was released in the Jungle Inferno Update. It is a yellow, half-peeled banana with white insides.

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".

This weapon was revealed on October 18th, 2017, as part of Day 3 of the Jungle Inferno Update alongside The Dragon's Fury, The Thermal Thruster, The Hot Hand, and The Gas Passer.

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 not only is a secondary weapon, but can also be used in a supporting role to heal teammates.
