Steal an Egg speed: every way to get it and every gate that needs it

Steal an Egg speed is the number that decides where you are allowed to go. Income buys things; speed opens zones. The official description puts it plainly — train on the treadmill to gain speed, upgrade your treadmill and base — and the wiki's Area page turns it into a ladder of gates from Lake's 900 to Angels & Demons' 20 billion. This guide covers the four documented sources of speed, what each costs, and the gates in order, then deals with the part everyone learns the hard way: carrying a big egg makes you slower, so the number you need is always more than the number on the gate.

Zone speed requirements and guardians.

Source one: hatch rewards

Every hatch pays a one-off speed bonus (and cash) listed in the pet's infobox. Early, it is the main source: three Forest hatches — Chicken +420, Dog +460, Bird +500 — clear Lake's 900 gate with no training. Lake's Axolotl pays +4k on a five-minute egg; Desert's Camel +9k on a 45-second egg, Fennec +8.1k on 30 seconds, Jerboa +7.2k on 20 seconds. Those Desert rewards, repeated, are most of the way to Jungle's ~40K.

The rewards keep scaling with the zone: Cerberus +42k, El Maja +180k, Ankylosaurus +330k, Bronto +300k, Cosmic Gecko +1m, Cosmic Skeleton Boss +1.6m, Crustacia +2.7m, Koi +4.2m, Kitsune +6.5m, Nightflame +6.8M. Because the reward is paid per hatch, the cheap fast eggs of the current zone are a renewable speed source: hatch, collect, repeat on the five-minute nest cycle.

Source two: the treadmill

Training on the treadmill at your base raises speed; upgrading the treadmill raises how much you get. The wiki's Area tips say to upgrade your treadmill to make reaching later zones easier, and the Pets page says income is spent on higher-level pens, treadmills and trails. Roblox's badge data shows how few reach the top model: 0.5 % of players held the 'Angelic Treadmill!' badge on 13 September 2026 — the rarest badge in the game, rarer than a Divine hatch.

The wiki does not publish treadmill tiers, prices or speed-per-session figures, so this page does not list them. What it does establish is the order of operations: pens first (more eggs growing means more income and more hatch rewards), treadmill second, trails third.

Source three: trails

Trails are bought with income and raise movement speed alongside treadmills, per the Eggs page's note that movement speed is upgraded via treadmills and trails. The top trail has its own badge, 'Divine Trail!', held by 1.0 % of players on 13 September 2026. As with treadmills, prices and per-trail figures are not in the register.

Source four: Robux speed multipliers

The wiki's Boosts page lists a full price table for temporary speed multipliers. They are the only speed you can buy directly, and the prices scale almost linearly with the multiplier at the top end.

×23 Robux3
×49 Robux6

The gate is not the number you need

The wiki's Area page says it twice: each zone has progressively higher speed requirements, with bigger eggs slowing you down and requiring even more than what is listed; and having enough speed to enter a zone does not necessarily mean you have enough speed to safely return with a large egg. The Eggs page adds why — bigger eggs carry a higher multiplier but are heavier and make you slower.

So the working rule is: the gate is what you need to walk in empty-handed. To walk out with the egg you came for, train past it, and train further for a big one. The wiki's tips list finishes the thought: later guardians are much stronger, plan your route before stealing, and treat Titan Temple as endgame because of its 7 billion requirement.

A route through the gates

Forest: hatch Chicken, Dog, Bird (about 50 seconds of grow time) for 1,380 speed and enter Lake. Lake: Axolotls at +4k each; two or three cover the 10K Desert gate. Desert: Camel, Fennec and Jerboa are 20–45-second eggs paying +7.2k to +9k; a handful reach Jungle's ~40K. From Jungle the gaps widen — ~40K to ~170K to ~700K to ~2.5M — and the treadmill has to carry more of the load, with the zone's top rewards (King Snake +18k, Ice Dragon +32k, Lava Dragon +60k) as milestones rather than the plan.

Cosmic's 700M gate is the one that stops most players; the badge numbers say so. Past it, the hatch rewards jump into the millions (Cosmic Gecko +1m on a four-minute egg) and the last two gates, 2.5B and 7B, are mostly a question of how many of those you can hatch and defend.

What speed does not do

It does not change income; that is base rate times mutation times size. It does not protect a pen; bear traps do that (three at a time, seven-second hold, none in the safe zone). And no amount of it makes an event egg appear in a nest. Speed is a key, not a multiplier.

How many hatches to each early gate — rewards only

Ignoring the treadmill entirely, the wiki's hatch rewards get you a surprisingly long way. Our arithmetic on the infobox figures:

GateRouteSpeed from rewards
Lake (900)Chicken + Dog + Bird1,380
Desert (10K)+ three Axolotls (+4k each)13,380
Jungle (~40K)+ three Camels (+9k each)40,380
Snow (~170K)+ King Snake (+18k) + Gorilla (+9.9k) + Crocodile (+9k) ×… — rewards alone fall short; the treadmill carries the rest

The return trip, in the wiki's words

Two sentences from the Area page are worth quoting exactly, because they are the rule most players learn by losing an egg.

Each zone has progressively higher speed requirements, with bigger eggs slowing you down and requiring even more than what is listed. Having enough Speed to enter a zone does not necessarily mean you have enough Speed to safely return with a large Egg.

What the register does not quantify

Treadmill tiers and prices; how much speed a training session gives; trail prices and their speed values; how much a given egg size slows you. The wiki names all of these mechanics without numbers, and the badge statistics tell you only that the top treadmill (0.5 % of players) and top trail (1.0 %) are rare. When this site says train past the gate, that is the wiki's advice; how far past is something the source does not say.

Speed rewards by zone, all eight eggs

For the four zones where the wiki lists a reward for most eggs, the full picture — so you can see which eggs are the farm and which are the milestone.

One number to keep on screen

Your current speed against the next gate. Everything on this page reduces to closing that gap — by hatch rewards first, then the treadmill, then trails, and only then by Robux — and to remembering that the gap is bigger than it looks the moment you pick up a large egg.

Questions people ask

How much speed do you need for each zone in Steal an Egg?
Lake 900, Desert 10K, Jungle ~40K, Snow ~170K, Volcano ~700K, Abyss Ocean ~2.5M, Prehistoric ~17–18M, Cosmic 700M, Cherry Blossom 2.5B, Titan Temple 7B, Angels & Demons 20B (wiki Area and Angels & Demons pages).
What is the fastest way to get speed early?
Hatch rewards: Chicken +420, Dog +460 and Bird +500 pass Lake's gate; Axolotl +4k and Desert's Camel +9k carry you to Jungle.
How much do speed boosts cost?
From ×2 for 3 Robux to ×4K for 1,375 Robux, in twelve steps (wiki Boosts page).
Why can I enter a zone but not get back?
Carrying an egg slows you; bigger eggs slow you more. The wiki says you need more than the listed gate to return with a large egg.
Does speed increase income?
No. Income is base × mutation × size. Speed only determines which zones and eggs you can reach.
What is the Angelic Treadmill?
The top treadmill, judging by its badge: 'Angelic Treadmill!' was held by 0.5 % of players on 13 September 2026 — the rarest badge in the game.
Is 20B speed the maximum needed?
It is the highest documented gate (Angels & Demons). The wiki does not describe anything beyond it.
Can I reach Jungle from hatch rewards alone?
Roughly: Chicken, Dog and Bird (1,380), three Axolotls (+12k) and three Camels (+27k) sum to about 40K on the wiki's reward figures — our arithmetic, no treadmill.
Do speed boosts stack with hatch rewards?
The wiki lists boosts as multipliers and rewards as additions; how the game combines them in the moment is not documented, so plan on the reward being permanent and the boost temporary.
How fast is an egg?
Eggs have no speed of their own; the carrier does. Size matters instead: the wiki says bigger eggs are 'heavier/slower' to carry, which is why a Huge egg is a guardian risk even for a fast player.
At what speed does an egg break?
Eggs do not break from speed in Steal an Egg. You lose an egg by being caught by a guardian or another player, not by running too fast.
