TF2 Weapon of the Week: Second Banana

The Heavy has two types of Secondary Weapons, Shotguns and Food items.

Today we are going to talk about the most Recent Food item, The Second Banana

The Second Banana is a Secondary Weapon for the Heavy.

When Eaten It Recovers 200 Health, It can be Thrown by pressing Alt-Fire. When it is thrown Teammates can pick it up, It Acts as a Small Health pack when Thrown.

These may Sound like a Major downgrade of the Sandvich. however The Banana Recharges in 10 Seconds(while the Sandvich Recharges in 30)

Meaning that it can heal 600 health in around the same time that the Sandvich would heal 300.

Plus 100 Less Health is not Much for Heavy, 200 Health will still Heal Heavy to almost Full Health.

However for Immediate health for allies the Sandvich is better.

Because of how Versatile Healing is, the Banana can Literally work in any loadout

Because of the Faster Recharge It allows heavy to have a 66% Health Pack on Standby at all times. However thanks to the small Health pack when thrown, it's not so useful for teamplay with a medic.

I would Consider the Banana a Side-Grade to the Sandvich, Use the Sandvich is you Plan to work with an Allied Medic. Use the Banana if you Plan to go Solo.

And that's the Second Banana. a Useful side-grade to one of Heavy's Most useful Utility Tools.
