How do you get to level 80

[Skela-Dude]

Just finished a run through of the new DLC and i am trying to Level but i am seeming to not be level at all. I am OP lvl 8 but i cant seem to be level past this. Is this a glitch or am i doing something wrong xD

OP levels are increased through digistruct peak, normal levels are exp

[Skela-Dude]

So do i need to go back to digistruct? or gather exp?

You should start to level normally again. Are you getting xp for kills?

The OP levels will not be available again until you reach level 80. Then you will be able to choose your OP level at the start, as before. Your old OP8 gear will still be usable in the meantime. When you reach 73 the old gear will say OP7, decreasing in number with each new level until you reach 80, then it will just be level 80 gear.

When you get to 80 you will get the OP levels back, but be warned, that if you start the game at OP8, your enemies will all be 88 or higher. Bullet sponges. Your (now) level 80 gear will still work, but it will be very under powered.
Farming for gear will be needed.
As for OP9 and OP10, you will need to run the peak twice more. Both times will have the double Saturns etc. Provided you now have on-level gear, it is not too bad.

my exp reads 7,953,578 out of 9,895,838 so do i need to actually get 1 million exp just to level one time? This has to be a glitch that is crazy

Leveling up is slow. At level 80, your xp will be 12,787,955.

Your xp at 72 should be 9,520,932

gibbed your levels? If so, you will take a long time to fill in the missing xp up to 72 and then progress further.
