The Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Scomp Link opens locked crates and some doors, a special hacking tool you can attach to the droid BD-1 to allow you to get through locks that would normally be beyond you... which is strange, considering you're holding a lightsaber. 

You'll find a lot of locked doors and crates that need the Scomp Link before you can actually get the tool itself, which can be pretty frustrating, and means you'll need to backtrack a bit if you want to open every lock that needs it. Nonetheless, if you're so inclined to become an aspiring hacker, here's how to find the Scomp Link in Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order.

To fasttrack finding the Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Scomp link, play through the story to gain the Force Push ability which will let you access the area where the Scomp Link upgrades lives. Follow our Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order walkthrough up there if you need guidance but basically just go where you're told until you complete Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Tomb Of Eilram ball puzzle, and return to the surface of Zeffo.

When you get back to the surface check your map and you should see two large doors that have turned green because your newfound Force Push ability will let you open them.

If you take the door on the right as you come out of the temple it'll lead you to an ice slide that will take you all the way back to the Weathered Monument area, which was the place with a fan you could Force Slow and a cave from where you watched the Imperial Transport leave. 

If you've not been there via this route before, cut the crane rope to release a shortcut and then head down to the blue-tinged door you couldn't interact with before (right on the image below).

You'll now be able to use Force Push to blast the door open and go inside. Look for a red climbable wall you can scale, and you'll find a bench at the top that will give you the Scomp Link upgrade.

Now you'll be able to pop open any Scomp Link crates and doors you find which will help you find more customisation options and new areas. Unlocking it now, rather basically just saves time as you can collect more as you go and not have to revisit old places later.
