This is an overview about on foot activities.
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.

{{Main|Mercenary}}
Mercenary work focuses on practically all instances of On Foot combat. This can range from accepting missions involving objectives at [[settlement]]s, which can involve both legal and illegal actions, to signing up with [[Frontline Solutions]] as a hired gun for a warring minor faction, to investigating remote points of interest and scavenging valuables from wrecks or smuggling caches. As the player kills more personnel and completes more missions, they advance their Mercenary rank.

Exobiology focuses on identifying and cataloguing alien flora found on planetary surfaces using the [[Genetic Sampler]] tool. Upon assembling a complete organic sample from partial samples of the same species, that complete sample can be redeemed at [[Vista Genomics]] for [[credits]]. The first player to log a particular species in a [[Galactic regions|galactic region]] will receive discovery credit in the [[Codex]]. As the player documents more alien flora, they advance their Exobiologist rank.

Concourses are public common areas found at most ports, including [[Station]]s and [[Surface Port]] facilities. Players can disembark from their ships after docking and take a lift directly to the local Concourse.

*[[Frontline Solutions]] - Sign up for local [[Conflict Zone (On Foot)|Conflict Zones]].
*[[Pioneer Supplies]] - Buy, sell, and upgrade pilot equipment.
*[[Vista Genomics]] - Redeem organic samples obtained with the [[Genetic Sampler]].

A new series of [[Points of Interest]] designed around On Foot activities present additional opportunities for combat and scavenging.

*[[Artificial Structure]]
*[[Conflict Zone (On Foot)|Conflict Zone]]
*[[Crash Site (On Foot)|Crash Site]]
