What is the nex max for speed secondary? Also was the frequency of secondary speed upgrade lowered?

Since 2.0 the chance of getting a speed secondary to increase has lowered

This needs a bit more explanation.

The chance of an individual mod with 4 secondaries rolling speed on an upgrade has not been lowered. There is still an equal chance for each secondary.

However, there is now a lower chance of getting a high speed mod, ie rolling speed multiple times. This is because under the old system existing secondaries would increase before new ones were revealed. Thus a blue mod had a 50% chance of rolling speed at level 3 and level 6 before revealing the two new secondaries at 9 and 12. Now the situation's been reversed. That same mod will reveal a new secondary at 3 and 6, then each secondary has a 25% chance to roll at 9 and 12. Thus rather than a 0.5x0.5 = 0.25 (1 in 4) chance of getting 2 speed rolls, you have a 0.25x0.25 = 0.125 (1 in 8) chance.

It's worth bearing in mind that overall the odds of a player getting mods with high speeds probably hasn't changed much, because now mods which reveal speed when levelled have the same chance of rolling it again. This means everyone will have a wider pool of mods with the potential for speed, but the odds of rolling a good speed for each of those mods are significantly worse.
