Yeah you get XP, and it works towards perks unlocked via levelling. But that's no good to me as I've hit the level cap now.
What is hotly debated and ambiguous is whether it will work towards existing weapon challenges, or there will be a new co-op variation, or nothing...

Looks like there's another patch coming along with the DLC. Hopefully it fixes the horrendous host selection code and the retarded auto-balancing that deemed it necessary to split me and Pud up despite being the only party in a 10+ man game...
As most of you know our Free Co-Op DLC ‘Exterminatus’ is just around the corner. With that, we will be attaching a fairly large patch for each platform to address many of the outstanding issues across the board.
All 3 platforms (Xbox 360, PS3 & PC) will be getting patches that address most of the outstanding bugs, glitches and other reported issues. We are working hard to get this patch out on each platform and will have an official release date shortly.

A bit more info (not new) about the Exterminatus DLC:
...
As you already know, Exterminatus is a four-player co-op mode featuring wave-based combat. Fans of such modes will already know the basics at play -- each wave gets harder and harder until you either win or get brutally slaughtered. At its most difficult, Exterminatus will start throwing Chaos Space Marines (or regular Marines, if players are using Chaos) at the team, and trust me when I say that those guys do not go down easy.
The three classes from the competitive multiplayer mode are present, along with any unlocked perks, weapons, and ranking. Players can choose the flexible Tactical class, the melee-based Assault class, or the brutally ranged Devastator (my personal favorite). As with versus mode, experience points are earned with kills and accomplishments, which level up the player and provide further character bonuses.
...
Rather than each player having a limited number of respawns, the entire team shares one pool of lives, and the game ends if everybody is down before a new one has been earned. After a certain score is reached, another life is earned. Points are earned with kills, but are also won by completing challenges that intermittently appear. These challenges include taking capture points on the map or scoring a certain amount of melee kills within a time limit. Despite their simplicity, some of these challenges can be tricky and the point bonuses are crucial, especially when lives are thin on the ground.

it depends if i can pull myself of dark souls lol.
Once u get into it - it's really hard just to say "i'll finish this boss" because it's then "i'll just do this bit" and then "ahh i'll do this boss aswell" and then it's "hmm got killed try this bit again"

Actually really looking forward to this. Still no confirmation as to whether you can advance weapon challenges, but you can clearly see him earning multi-kills (with a hammer - mega-kill at x20 lmao).

(Actually, I think it pretty much does confirm weapon advancement, based on the forum posts...)
