Concept for future REAL RANKED arena - Armor deterioration

The real hardcore Ranked arena would deteriorate your gear whenever you lose.
Note that this wouldn’t affect at all extraction and that in extraction your gear would never deteriorate or break.
The deterioration gauge would only lower in this mode.
When the deterioration gauge is empty, your piece of gear gets broken and is destroyed.

This would tie in the ranked arena with the extraction aspect of the game, meaning that you can grind ranked arena, but if you lose too much, you go back to farming extraction for the mats necessary.

Could easily have the system be quite kind so maybe 10-15 losses break your gear, making gear easy to break would deter people from ranked altogether.
