About this image
In-keeping with the Fallout aesthetic, low-tier versions of the service rifle get a different appearance from their higher-tier counterparts. The models you'll find picked off the bodies of raiders and scavengers will show their age with rusted materials and visible damage.
As you upgrade them, they'll reflect their higher quality with a newer and less roughed-up appearance.

The early variants are fairly low-powered and will quickly get outclassed, but the weapon can be upgraded to where it can compete with some pretty high-tier gear.
I'd say it's roughly analogous to the vanilla Combat Rifle in terms of damage output, up until the last tier of unlocks where it unquestionably surpasses it damage-wise.
I wanted something that you could use for the majority of the game, that would scale with you, rather than something that would ultimately lose its usefulness and have to be discarded for better weapons.
