Anyone who has played MHR or even MHW knows the expansions are DLC and do not include the base game. Regardless of the previous review here, this DLC functioned perfectly. There were no redemption issues and was a quick turn-around for getting the key for activation on Steam. I wanted to wait until I beat the base game before getting the DLC, and being on a tight budget, CDKeys gave a budget friendly option for picking up the deluxe without straying.
