Open up Steam and go to Library. Select the game you want the DLC from and then click on Store Page. Select the DLC you want to buy in the Store page, it's under Content for this game. The purchase process is exactly the same as buying a base game.Can I download a DLC from Steam without the game?
Unfortunately, because of the way DLC support in Steam is designed, there is (to my knowledge) no way to download a game without the DLC you bought.
