Generally you learn something to overcome a problem and the problem defines what you should do and what tools you need.

For the UI you should be familiar with (web tech) : javascript, css, "a framework/library" (like vuejs, angular, react)
For the back end (for serious apps) : java or c# (asp.net core mvc), sql

There are a multitude of libraries and technologies within each "language" that you will pickup along the way, while solving problems.

If you are looking for a job that seems enough to me, knowing some SQL is always good, it also helps knowing about patterns e.g. Factory pattern.
But there are a lot of companies out there, all with their particular skill set demands, so maybe you need to focus on what company you want to work for and then adapt your skill set to that.
Good luck !

Rather than more languages, technical background is a must have:
- Learn one or more analyze methods, E.W. Djikstra top-Down method is a good start.

- Learn Algorithms and Data-Structures.
- Learn Boole algebra

Interesting term, "arsenal".

Well - running with your metaphor, I'd say that what you really want to do is be sure you're not shooting blanks.

Proficiency, else you're wasting your time.
You just started coding. What advice would you give to anyone just starting out in anything?

There's a snide recasting of a adage that one should consider, not only in coding, but in pretty much all things worth doing. Something to avoid being:

Jackass of all trades,
Master of none.
