An Alien Hominid that is Level 256.
A Red Knight that's Level 256.
Level 256 is a level that has been achieved by a number of players by exploiting the game. Players who are this level can take no more than 1 damage per hit, and can hit well into the thousands. Players who play with a player who has the Level 256 glitch run the risk of getting their data erased and replaced with that of the Level 256's data. Players who do play with these characters will experience large amounts of lag and other performance losses. Using this glitch may also cause your Xbox Live account to be banned.
The glitch may also cause most players to leave a game with a Level 256 player in it so not to run the risk of getting the glitch. Also most players may want to kick a level 256 player for the same reason.
Players using or wanting to get the glitch have been considered unfair and sometimes get a negative reputation because of it. They are usually kicked from games.
This was patched and all Level 256 players have been set to level 99 and had their stats reset, meaning they'll have to put points back in. Level 256 is now impossible to obtain unless you hack your Xbox 360. Whatever amount of Gold the Level 256 player had prior to the patch will be retained and is a good indicator of a former Level 256 player.
