The problem is that the game updates your levels once per exp gain, so if you gain enough experience in one mission to get level 3 light weapons, it will give you level 1. On your next kill it will give you level 2, and the next one will give you level 3. It's just the way the game updates levels.

Ah, the broken BP exploits. w00t.

no, it's the way of addressing the BP exploit. You can only level up once per day.

The BP exploit is already known, but to fix the leveling bug all you need to do is either a) Do a couple real quick BP missions or b) Kill bots with both light and heavy weapons.

On another note about the BP exploit, the xp is the same, it goes up +300/+300/+300/0/0 for every 3 bots added, it's the money that is the problem. After a certain point the money reward gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

Exactly what dragon empire said. Go kill some collectors of some sort.

I'm fairly sure that the BP money thing was intentional, cuz I thought there was an update a while back (not too long before I started playing VO) where BP rewards were changed on purpose to give more money instead of more xp.

Actually, before the rewards were nerfed there was MASSIVE xp AND money rewards. When they got nerfed they nerfed them lots. (The original mission was something like +2000 for 3 bots and the new reward is +900, the money was also deastically reduced.)

After the BP mission was nerfed, someone got the idea for someone to leave and rejoin the group repeatedly, the point of this was to increase the # of bots to kill for the mission so that you didn't have to go back to the station every 9 bots...

What was originally intented to be a convenience quickly turned into an exploit, the exploit being the massive increase in money reward.
