As Killer, how can you tell which perks Survivors have equipped?
Assuming you've never played against them and have their perks memorized, how can you tell which perks Survivors have equipped?
I can go match after match without seeing Iron Grasp, but as soon as I equip Boil Over every Killer match after match has Iron Grasp magically equipped. How are they seeing my loadout?? I'm not streaming...

Just stop using boil over, its trash.

They can't see your loadout. You just got unlucky to run into the killers running iron grasp while running Boil Over. (Which is a pretty worthless perk, even if the killer isn't running Iron Grasp)
As the game goes on, you can pick up on what survivors are running. Just the same as survivors can do with killers. But they cannot tell what perks you have before the trial begins.

If it's trash then Killers don't need to equip Iron Grasp

Iron Grasp has nothing to do with Boil Over. your point doesn't make sense, Iron Gasp is good for other stuff not just for people using Boil Over. One of the best for basement builds or just for swf that block alot or do sabo builds.

Iron Grasp doesn't counter Boil Over man. All boil over does is make the killer shake a little bit more when carrying you and making him not see hooks next to him. The perk is useless. + Iron grasp can be comboed with agitation in a basement build, or just used against survivors that like throwing theirselves in front of the killer when they are carrying a player

That happens with every perk though.
You use Unbreakable?
Killer never slugs you.
DS?
Killer never tunnels

I can tell you which perks survivors have.
It is some combination of BT/DS/Unbreakable/Exhaustion Perks/Adrenaline/Iron Will
Pretty much any perk beyond those will have so little impact within your games they are almost not worth mentioning.

If you are talking about before the game starts, you can't. They can't see yours and you can't see theirs. In game, you can only tell by experiencing them.

You can't but it's pretty safe to assume everyone has an exhaustion perk and probably multiple with ds, borrowed time, and unbreakable. But ya boil over is meh though super annoying for the killer. Not like wiggle off good but annoying. You just had bad luck probably going against killers without much else as far as perks go.

^ basically this. You remember the times where the Perk would have been good, but not the situations where you had the Perk but it did not get any use.
Like, I am not using Adrenaline, and still I would think "Ok, Adrenaline would have saved me" if it actually would. But if I use Adrenaline I know that will most likely activate it while fully healed and not in a Chase aka it only gives me Exhaustion and a little Sprint Boost.
And well, you cannot know which Perks the Survivors are running, but it can be assumed. One thing are Characters, e.g. a David might potentially have Dead Hard. Or when it comes to behavior. Someone who runs up a Hill in a Chase will have Balanced Landing (or is stupid), someone who runs Quick&Quiet might also run Head On, etc.
