How do people level up so fast?

I'm level 4, played a mission with a lv 0 player. We did the exact same things in the mission, but he went up 10 levels and I'm still level 4.

Sometimes when a player joins mid missions he is shown as lvl0. He was probably already lvl10 or perhaps 9 in reality.

Sidenote: there is no lvl0 at all. You start at level 1. On highest difficulty you get something around 2000XP maximum per mission. So a level 1 can at max advance to level 5 or 6 if he joins a friend in a D10 mission as his very first mission.

Seeing another player at Level 0 is a bug that causes their level to not be displayed until after the mission.

They didn't get 10 levels, they were either level 9 or level 10 to begin with.

Just a UI bug :P

Ah ok, that makes sense. He also had some equipment I did not have access to yet.

its not just limited to lvl0 i have seen lvl 110 become lvl 23 and lvl 16 become lvl 120

its just totally broken until after you finish a mission when it will then sync correctly

You could cheat to get alot of xp and max samples a long time ago, maybe it's still on the menu.
