What Nuyen means in its world
Nuyen is the payment that turns a Shadowrun job into equipment choices. It covers weapons, cyberware, spells, services and the costs of being prepared for the next contract, so it gives a runner's reputation a practical edge.
In Shadowrun Returns and its campaigns, the available shops and rewards are shaped by the story. Spending nuyen on a piece of gear should be weighed against upcoming mission needs, not only its attack value.
