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 primary fire (default key: MOUSE1) or the taunt button (default key: G) with the Second Banana active causes the Heavy to consume it and gain health.this item is slightly more effective than the sanvich because it can heal over 400 hp over 20 seconds while the sandvich cans only heal 300 of 30 seconds. If used while the Heavy is at full health, the taunt animation will play, but the Banana will not be 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, it is dropped as a collectible that restores 50 health to all classes but the Scout, who is healed for 75 health.

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.

  • The attribute +50% increase in charge recharge rate is incorrect; the Second Banana recharges in 10 seconds, which is ~66% faster than the Sandvich's recharge time.
  • The jiggle bones are inverted.

Trivia

  • A "second banana" is an idiom which describes 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" contest, while the Pyro won the main class-focused prize: 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.
  • Accounting for the game's cartoony artstyle, the Second Banana's design most closely resembles the Gros Michel breed of banana, which was the main kind sold in the Western world until being replaced in the 1950s by the Cavendish.
