You get good mods, speed or otherwise, by paying for them.

Either with time, or with money.

However; you could buy a nearly $4 million gold Mod from the store that shows +3 speed at LVL 1 and yet it stays at +3 all the way to LVL 15. It's a total crepe-shoot.

Pure luck on how high it will go.

I've bought so many mods with speed secondaries from the mod store that only rolled speed once that I'm beginning to become one of those crazy conspiracy theorists. Mods are the most frustrating part of this game, IMO.

but yes, farm often, buy from mod store, and hope you get super lucky.

Well one speed bump is the most probably outcome so its not surprising you see it the most.

The chances of hitting 20+ is maybe 5% so if you upgraded 30 gold speed mods and didn't hit a single 20 it wouldn't be exceptionally unlucky.

I was surprised to validate your 5% estimate and that makes me feel really unlucky having played for 1.5 yrs with no mods 20+ speed secondaries. I did get a 19 speed one today though which felt good.

Back of the envelope math: The odds of rolling speed a minimum of 3 times = .25^3*.75*4 + .25^4 ~ 5.08%. The possibilities of 3 and 4 speed increases make the odds lower than 5% for getting a 20+ speed mod though. Just hope you're not like the one guy in the other post who started with 5 speed and then rolled 4 times for +3 speed each.
