The landmark feature of ''Odyssey'' is the addition of the ability to [[On Foot|explore planets on foot]]. This is permitted not only on all non-atmospheric landable planets, but ''Odyssey'' also [[Atmospheric Landings|opens planets with tenuous or thin atmospheres for landings]] for the first time, increasing the number of available landable bodies in the game by over 20%. Landing on planets with tenuous atmospheres requires the new [[Advanced Planetary Approach Suite]] module. On Foot activities require a [[Suits|suit]] to protect the player from the hostile environment, but some planets are so inhospitable that players cannot disembark from their ships even if their ships are able to land.<ref>[https://www.pcgamer.com/amp/frontier-talks-about-elites-new-on-foot-exploration-update-odyssey/ PC Gamer: Frontier talks about Elite's new on-foot exploration update, Odyssey] | The landmark feature of ''Odyssey'' is the addition of the ability to [[On Foot|explore planets on foot]].

The first player to set foot on a planet will receive the "First Footfall" credit on the [[System Map]]. First Footfall credit can only be claimed on planets in systems with 0 population; inhabited systems have already been explored at some point in the ''Elite Dangerous'' universe's 1300-year history of interstellar exploration, and thus First Footfall credit in those systems is already long claimed. Unlike the "First Discovered" and "First Mapped" credits, "First Footfall" credit is recorded immediately upon a player dismebarking on a previously unclaimed body, and does not require selling scan data to [[Universal Cartographics]].<ref name="Footfall" /> | The first player to set foot on a planet will receive the "First Footfall" credit on the [[System Map]].
