To earn International Fugitive, escape to Mexico. That is the exact official condition. Current routes reach the border after Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, which are also official checkpoint badge identities. Prepare fuel, use a vehicle you can control, follow live signs, and cross the final border trigger.
Prepare an ordinary escape
Complete a small rob-and-pawn loop and reserve money for the road. Check fuel through a current station; community routes identify Exon. Clear bulky objects that complicate vehicle entry and practice braking, reversing, and recovery.
Use a known vehicle rather than testing a new pass during the badge attempt. Route consistency matters more than paper top speed. On mobile, brake earlier and keep the camera pointed through gate openings.
Follow the state route
Cross Kansas, then Oklahoma, then Texas according to current corroborated routes. Official badges independently confirm each named state line. At every checkpoint, read the sign, slow down, align, cross the visible trigger, and continue down the exit road.
Police pressure may occur around progression according to current walkthroughs. Use solid turns to break line of sight and preserve fuel. Do not reverse into a gate immediately after crossing.
Trigger the Mexico escape
After Texas, follow live border signage and approach the Mexico gate under control. Cross the intended line and wait for normal game feedback. The official condition says escape to Mexico; exact geometry and animation are live-build behavior.
If the completion appears, remain long enough for Roblox to process the award. Then verify badge ownership through the official experience record.
Troubleshoot a missing badge
Confirm the official Place ID and that the route actually crossed the final Mexico trigger. Check official ownership; a toast can be missed. If absent, note the date, server, visible completion, and border path, then retry in a fresh server.
Do not add police level 5 unless attempting Hardened Criminal. Do not spend Robux on a different vehicle solely to repair a missing trigger. A clean repeat with the same setup is a better diagnostic.
Attempt checklist
Add harder objectives later
Once International Fugitive is repeatable, attempt Hardened Criminal by reaching the final border while police level 5 is visibly active. High Roller can be attempted by holding $50,000 during an escape. Keep these goals separate on the first learning run so a failure has one clear cause.
The Reach Mexico Guide includes a current visual walkthrough and more route detail. The Checkpoints Guide isolates gate practice.
Record the route for the next attempt
After each state crossing, note the sign, road taken, fuel state, and whether police were in direct sight. At the border, record the vehicle, visible completion, and badge ownership. Avoid exact travel times unless the same vehicle, device, and server conditions are used; they are less reusable than landmark decisions.
If helping a crew member, do not assume every passenger receives the same checkpoint or border credit. Ask each player to inspect normal feedback and official ownership. The public badge description does not specify passenger behavior, so it must be observed rather than promised.
Sources and confidence
The Mexico condition and checkpoint identities are Official. The state order, Exon stop, and broad road flow are Community corroborated. Exact turns, police behavior, and border trigger position remain Needs in-game testing.
International Fugitive is the clean baseline for every border challenge. Keep the first completion free of optional badge conditions, then reuse its proven route. This makes a later failure at level 5 or with $50,000 easier to diagnose without changing the meaning of the official Mexico condition.
