On Foot activities allow players to interact with the galaxy in new ways, and also add two related [[Pilots Federation]] [[ranks]] to master. For the first time in ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'', players can disembark from their [[ships]] inside ports and on planetary surfaces to explore and engage in combat. Undertaking On Foot activities requires managing new equipment, and new items classified as [[Components]], [[Goods]], and [[Data]] offer new ways to profit and unlock upgrades.

=== Activities ===
There are many kinds of on foot activities such as PVE and PVP in a [[Conflict Zone (On Foot)|conflict zone]] on a planet's surface. Exploration and xenobiology on planets. Such as at a [[Thargoid Barnacle|Thargoid barnacle]], [[Thargoid Surface Site|surface site]] or [[Thargoid Spire|Spire]]. This can be done solo, in a [[Teams|team]] or with a [[Squadrons|squadron]]. Deathmatch between [[Commander|commanders]]. [[Settlement|Settlements]] have mechanics such as security controls, power, defenses. Stealth objectives can have reactivation or sabotage. Some [[Assassin|Assassination]] missions require engineered suit and weapons to do properly. [[Courier]] and [[Smuggler|Smuggling]]. Ship-to-ground and vs SRV combat. The 2 main categories are [[Mercenary]] and [[Exobiologist|Exobiology]].
 
=== Missions ===
Massacre missions are recommended to: learn the layouts of the settlements, gather materials, progress in [[mercenary]] rank. The experience gained makes stealth missions easier. Ships may chase you afterward completing such missions.
 
=== Roleplay ===
On foot [[roleplaying]] is more immersive because you are a character rather than the [[Ships|ship]].

On Foot missions can be shared with all players who are in a [[Teams|Team]] by selecting the "Share" button on any mission transaction panel. Team members can individually accept or decline a shared mission invitation. Sharing a mission limits the rewards for participants to credits, reputation, or items, while the mission host retains the option to select an influence reward. If a mission involves obtaining a specific item, that mission item will be automatically moved the mission host's inventory when boarding a ship or departing the mission area. If a team member is critically injured and is holding a mission item, they will drop that item, allowing other team members to collect it and continue the mission.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-odyssey-update-5.584271/ Frontier Forums: Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 5]</ref>
